Congratulations to Zachery Wertz for his Bronze Medals in the Boys 14 & Under Singles & in Boys 14 & Under Doubles with Doubles partner Sam Reid of Oregon. Unfortunately Zack fell short of retaining his spot on the US Junior Olympic Team but will be first alternate.
Joseph Lee also performed well in his divisions Boys 16 & Under Singles and Doubles. In his singles event he had a hard fighting battle in the Quarters with top seeded Taylor Knoth of Oregon who eventually won Gold. Joseph was the only player to push the number one seed to a Tie Breaker but fell one point short of winning the match. In Joseph’s Doubles he and his partner Dylan Reid of Oregon came up 2 points shy in a tie breaker for a Bronze Medal bid.
Below are their Media Match Results for them. Great Job Guys!!!!
