Lions’ Simons third

? Lawrence High’s Elizabeth Simons placed third and Jaimie Jarrett ninth in singles at Wednesday’s Topeka Invitational tennis tournament at Kossover Center.

Simons won four of five matches and Jarrett two of five. Morgan Manger and Jordan Payne placed sixth with a 1-4 record at No. 1 doubles, while Julia Harris and Brittany Long went 2-3 and finished sixth at No. 2 doubles.

“I am happy for Elizabeth who had a great day. Jaimie Jarrett at No. 1 singles played some of the very best tennis of the day I saw from anybody,” LHS coach Steve Hudson said. “Our inexperience showed in doubles.”

The Lions will host a triangular today at Lawrence Tennis Center.
