TENNIS ALIVE AND WELL IN SCHROON LAKE!

After an absence of several years and following the renovation of the Town’s tennis courts, the annual Schroon Lake Tennis Tournament was returned this summer to a rousing welcome!

Sponsored by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, the tournament was held from July 26 through 28. Kathy Riggins successfully organized the well-attended event. Facing several adverse weather conditions with unpredictable downpours, Kathy and her volunteer grounds crew cleared water from the courts so that matches could continue. As a result of the weather-related rescheduling, some participants had to play two or three matches in one day – a tribute to their stamina and perseverance.

A total of 34 participants from ages 15 to 81 played at two levels in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles single elimination matches. Schroon Lake merchants generously donated prizes and gift certificates for all finalists. Winners for each division were:

• Men’s Singles: Ben Wisser

• Women’s Singles: Danielle Kazmer

• Men’s Doubles: Brandon Kayszak & Jim Hale

• Women’s Doubles 3.0: Jan Glading & Trish Sella

• Women’s Doubles 3.5: Emily & Anna Maisonville

• Mixed Doubles 3.0: Keith Wrigley & Gretchen Sunderland

• Mixed Doubles 3.5: Brandon Kayszak & Caroline Baldwin

Congratulations to all who participated and to the winners!
