Lawrence High’s girls tennis team placed fifth at the eight-team Topeka tournament on Wednesday at Kossover Tennis Center.

At No. 2 doubles, sophomore Caitlynn Kliem and junior Mia Waters combined for a 3-1 record on their way to third place. Their only loss was in a tiebreaker, which prevented them from a spot in the championship.

LHS junior Chisato Kimura took third place at No. 2 singles with a 3-1 record. Senior Nina Givotovsky posted a 2-2 record at No. 1 singles for fifth place and senior Natalie Cote/junior Chloe Thornton were seventh at No. 1 doubles with a 1-3 record.

“We had opportunities to do much better,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said. “We had chances. We just need to grab the bull by the horns.”

Lawrence will host a quadrangular at 3 p.m. Monday, the first time the Lions will play matches on their home courts this season.
