Rincon/University standout Grace Driskill won the Division II state championship in the 1600 (5:02.08) Wednesday at Mesa Community College. Driskill also took third in the 800 (2:17.23). Tucson High standout Johnnie Blockburger took second in the D-I High Jump (6-04).
In boys tennis, No. 1 Catalina Foothills will face No. 13 Salpointe in the D-II semifinal round on Friday. The winner will play for the state title on Saturday. Gregory School boys advance to the D-III semifinal round.
PRCA Boys narrowly lose to Phoenix Country Day 5-4. Number one Preston Grammond, Senior, took out this year’s AIA state boys singles and undefeated champ Ashton Kroeger in straight sets. But, today’s win wasn’t enough to help the team beat a deep and very tough PCDS team.— PRCATennis (@PRCA_TENNIS) May 2, 2019
In softball, No. 12 Willcox came out on top in the 2A Play-In Tournament.
In baseball, No. 2 Salpointe beat No. 6 Vista Grande 3-2 to advance to the 4A semifinals under the double-elimination format.
