Below are the results from the W.S.C. Silver Conference Tournament on Friday, May 15 and Saturday, May 16.

York finished in 4th Place in the Conference overall with a 4-2 conference record, 2 points behind Oak Park-River Forest for 3rd.

York had Conference Medalists at 2 positions. At #1 Singles, Brendan Peterson was a conference medalist for the 3rd straight year (2nd year in a row at #1 singles), finishing in 3rd place in the flight. Lucas Gough and Teague Hagan finished in 3rd Place at the #2 Doubles flight, making both players conference medalists.

“I was pleased with the way our guys competed overall,” Heimann said. ”They gave great effort and handled themselves well on court.”

York Singles standout Brendan Peterson went 2-1 on the weekend and is now the All-Time Wins leader in the Boys’ and Girls’ Tennis Programs at York High School with 122 wins in his career. The previous record was held by David Genovese (1999) and Jennifer Williams (2006) with 120.

“I am very proud of Brendan,” Heimann said. “I very much appreciate his dedication to the tennis program at York. He has shown great work ethic over the last 4 years and has been a great captain and leader for our team. He only started playing tennis at the end of 8th grade. It is absolutely remarkable for Brendan to accomplish this feat, having started playing when he did. That is a credit to him and his family for how hard he has worked.”

Peterson was recently named “Senior Athlete of the Year” for 2014-2015 at the York Athletic and Academic Awards Night on May 4.
