A Manitowoc tennis player is headed to the WIAA Boys State Individual Tennis Championships next week in Madison.
Sophomore Peter Knauf of Roncalli/Lutheran finished third at a WIAA Division Two Sectional meet held at the Sports Core in Kohler.
He defeated Jacob Krumrie of Kenosha St. Joseph 6-0, 6-3, lost to Nolan Villwock of Kohler 6-4,6-2 before defeating Ty Smith of Sheboygan South 6-1, 6-2.
Head Coach Amanda Bauer tells SeehaferNews.com, “Peter has worked very hard to get to this point. He has a good head on his shoulders and deserves this great opportunity.”
Meanwhile, the doubles tandem of Max Doctor Maury and Charlie Carey lost their first-round match to Yash Patel and Laden Volkert of Delavan-Darien by a score of 6-1, 6-3 to finish their season at 12 and 4.
Knauf improves to 13 and 5 and will await his opponent as the draw for the field will be held tonight.
Unfortunately, the season came to an end for Manitowoc Lincoln Singles player Cohen Newberg, who lost to Ethan Hoffman of Hartford 6-2, 6-2 in the first round of the WIAA Division One Sectionals in Appleton on Thursday.
