Perfection is hard to come by in any sport, let alone girls tennis, but over the weekend at the Class 3A individual state championships, Prospect Ridge Academy’s Maya Anderson proved it could be done.

Leading up to the final competition in Colorado Springs, the Miners’ No. 3 singles player hadn’t lost a single match at the line, and she carried that dominance into a state tournament run that saw her defeat every opponent she faced in straight sets.

It all came to its acme Saturday morning, when she took down Vail Christian’s Heidi Iverson with a 6-2, 6-0 score to claim the gold.

“In the past two years, I suffered a few disappointments at state,” Anderson said. “I believe these disappointments helped me mentally prepare for anything my opponents threw at me. I believe my mental game and my preparation helped me the most.

“Today is one of the matches (where) I believe the score doesn’t reflect the game played. She was a very strong competitor, and I very much enjoyed playing against an opponent who played with a lot of pace and different shot selections. I think I came prepared to be patient and wait for the shots that I really wanted to take. I was able to adjust to her game which I think helped me a lot.”

She wasn’t the only state individual state champion from the BoCoPreps coverage area to secure a state title. Peak to Peak’s No. 1 doubles pair of Sydney Parkinson and Molly Kolachov won their bracket with a 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Colorado Academy’s Anna Johnson/Storm Bearley.

The Pumas’ 2 doubles team, El Allen-Bonney and Lhadze Olsen, took down Vail Christian’s Autumn Wood and Camden Allen in a 6-4, 6-0 championship showing, while PRA’s Amelia Waggoner and Natalie Rooks (3 doubles) beat out Peak to Peak’s Jolie Sasseville and Abby Fitzgerald to claim their own crown.

Peak to Peak’s 2 singles representative, Sydney Lewis, played into her state title match but ultimately fell to Vail Christian’s Alexa Blanch in straight sets. Niwot’s Saha Kolli, all the way down at the 4A tournament in Pueblo, suffered a similar fate in her 7-5, 7-5 loss to Kent Denver’s Lila Moldenhauer at 1 singles.

The top-seeded Pumas will face off with either Prospect Ridge Academy or Colorado Academy for the Class 3A dual team championship Tuesday at the Denver Tennis Park. PRA and CA were battling Monday afternoon for the other finals berth.
