The Owego Boys Tennis doubles team of Tommy West and Matt Wiekchorst placed second at the Section IV, Class B Championships last Friday to advance to the NYS Qualifier later this week. For West, its the fourth consecutive year advancing to the NYS Qualifier, which will be played this year on Friday & Saturday, May 24-25, at the Binghamton Tennis Center.
To qualify, West and Wieckhorst had to maneuver through a 20 team sectional tournament. They defeated teams from Chenango Forks, Susquehanna Valley, and Maine-Endwell, before losing to the tournament champions from Norwich in the final.
Both players will be looking for a place in the NYS Championships, which takes place at the National Tennis Center in NYC, and to do this, will need to place in the top 3 at the NYS Qualifier.
