Tennis: Thompson earns sixth in Seattle

Calleigh Thompson, a Sequim senior, earned a sixth place medal in the singles WIAA 2A Girls Tennis Singles Tournament last weekend at Seattle’s Nordstrom Tennis Center.

She said to finish high school with a medal felt really good.

“I’ve worked so hard these last four years and will miss my high school season a lot, but I am leaving on a high note,” Thompson said.

This was her first medal at the girls state tennis meet after playing there as a sophomore.

Thompson played most of this season as the Wolves’ No. 2 singles player and opened state with a win over Noelle Hayes of West Valley (Spokane) in two sets (6-0, 6-1) on Friday, May 22. She followed that with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Rylie Carter of Toppenish to move onto day two of the tournament.

On Saturday, she lost 6-1, 6-0 to eventual state champion Halley Brooks of Lynden. For the third place match, Elizabeth Mittge of WF West won 6-3, 7-5 with Thompson earning the sixth place medal.

Thompson said her goal for her second time at state was to place and be happy with how she played.

“I exceeded my expectations, and gave my last game my all,” she said.

Thompson said her most memorable matches came at the district meet a week prior against Lucy Cao of Bremerton and fellow Wolves player Tiffany Lam.

“Both matches went to three sets, and they were tough competitors,” she said.

Thompson said she believes good things come to those who wait, and encourages others to be patient.

“God made everything happen for me this year, and I couldn’t have done it alone,” she said. “I’m just so grateful.”

This fall, she’ll attend Gonzaga University and said she’d love to join a club tennis team.

The girls team was lead by head coach Andrea Dietzman, and assistant coach Bridget Shingleton with Jessica Dietzman, a Sequim grad and state tennis doubles winner, volunteering to help the girls learn skills and strategies.

“It’s exciting to grow the sport of tennis in our community and see students making it to districts and state,” Andrea Dietzman said.
