Andy Zhu '24 Wins Tennis State Championship
Archmere sophomore Andy Zhu went 6-0, 6-1 to take the First Singles Tennis State Championship on May 25th at St. Andrew's School against Caesar Rodney senior Darin Jawahar. This is Andy's second year in a row to win the State Championship; he made his mark last year, winning as a 9th grader. Andy led the Archmere boys tennis team to a successful 12-2 season this spring.
Brad Myers wrote of Andy's win, “I started out consistent. I held my serve, which was a good sign,” Zhu said. “And then I got a break and I got the momentum, and I guess it just kept going from there.”
Archmere also had two finalists in the girls’ singles events. At second singles, Brianna Yang '25, the third seed, gave top-seeded Alexis Montana of Wilmington Friends a battle before falling and placing second, 6-4, 6-0. And in third singles, junior Maggie Roberts '23, the No. 2 seed, lost to the No. 1 seed, placing second to Ava Vu of Caesar Rodney, 6-2, 6-1. The girls tennis team finished the season 13-1.
