Newman, the top seed, beat Corner Canyon's Evelyn Marsh in the semifinals and then defeated Lone Peak senior Ava Jensen 6-1, 6-0 in the final. She had reached the final the previous two years and was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago, just before state. "This didn't seem possible a couple of years ago," she said. [1]
Bingham's Madison Yeates and Evalyn Roberts won No. 1 doubles, and Skyridge's Anabelle Rowley and Chloe Barker rallied to beat a Lone Peak pair, lifting the Falcons into second place. [1]
