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.

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.
