Congrats Tara on an awesome season in singles. Good luck in the doubles & team competition.

She is just a junior, correct? Looks like four striaght assuming she stays healthy. Does anyone know if that has been done, four straight singles titles?

I know Natasha Belcher of Kelly won three straight back in the mid-90s.

nope...she lost her freshman year to the girl from Radford

So, she is a senior? Never mind, I get it.

It was here 3rd straight apperance in the finals. She lost her freshman year and won 2 straight so that would make her a rising senior this coming season. 3 straight is possible.

Yeah she lost to Ashton Downs from Radford. Ashton plays somewhere in college now, not sure where.

Ashleigh Sarver from Bland County also won 3 in a row. I think she lost her freshman year to Belcher.

She must have drifted back to the pack that year, right guys.

It was a learning year for her after transfering from Dobyns Bennet! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Can't blame a TN kid for wanting to better themselves! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

But I hope your Tara info is right in accusing her of being from DB.
