Hathaway Brown’s Varsity Golf and Tennis teams will be headed to Columbus and Cincinnati this weekend for state tournament play, with Golf competing in OHSAA Division I and Tennis in Division II. This the first time in HB history that the school has had team representation in more than one athletic division in state tournament play. The Blazer Golf team is the first team in school history to be competing at the state level in Division I.
HB’s Blazer Tennis team is the two-time consecutive defending team state champion. And in addition to earning the OHSAA State Singles, Singles Runner-Up, and Doubles championships last year, former HB scholar-athletes Ariana Iranpour ’13 and Lauren Gillinov ’17 brought home the state Singles title for four years running.
Blazer Golfers qualified for the state tournament after an outstanding regular season highlighted by numerous individual and team bests, followed by an impressive first-place showing in Sectionals, then earning the berth to the state tournament with a third-place finish at Districts with a score of 333.
The Golf state tournament will be held Friday, October 20, and Saturday, October 21, at The Ohio State University Gray Course in Columbus. State Tennis matches will be held those same days at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. Be sure to follow @HBAthletics on Twitter for regular updates throughout the weekend.
Please help us congratulate our golfers and tennis players on their terrific seasons thus far and cheer them on as they represent HB in Columbus and Cincinnati. We’ll be celebrating both teams and wishing them well with gatherings on Thursday, October 19. Join us at 8 a.m. for Golf and 10:15 a.m. for Tennis in the Anne Cutter Coburn Reception Room. All families and fans are invited.
Go Blazers!
