DENVER | The Regis Jesuit boys tennis team racked up a perfect score and qualified its entire team for the Class 5A boys state tennis tournament on the first day of Region 3 play.
Coach Laura Jones’ Raiders took titles at all three singles positions and all four doubles positions in play at Colorado Athletic Club-Monaco to earn 84 points and make sure a full compliment will be onhand for the Oct. 14-16 state tournament at the Gates Tennis Center.
Conor Kaczmarczyk, Brady Jenkins and Alexander Samuelson swept the singles for Regis Jesuit and didn’t drop a single set in the process.
The Raiders’ state-bound doubles groups of James Lynch and Aidan Sobolevsky (No. 1), Charlie Jenkins and Tanner Smith (No. 2), KC Eckenhausen and Liam McDonnell (No. 3) and Agustin Azcui and Devin McCausland (No. 4) also did not drop a set, though Jenkins and Smith needed a tiebreak in one against a team from Fort Collins.
Playback matches remain to determine the second state qualifier in four positions — all that involve matches between Douglas County and Fort Collins — and will shift to Regis Jesuit’s campus Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
