PARSONS — The Iola JV tennis team competed at the Parsons Invitational on Monday afternoon with seven other schools in attendance.
Kyndal Bycroft was the lone singles player for the Mustangs. In doubles, Bethany Miller and Madeleine Wanker as well as Madelyn Ashworth and Marlee Westhoff took the court.
Bycroft placed fifth in singles after beginning with a matchup against Independence.
“Kyndal is a strong singles player that works on improving any weakness that she notices. I have noticed improvements on anything that we have targeted at each meet,” said Iola head coach Chris Belknap.
Miller and Wanker came in fourth in their first-ever doubles matches.
“As a team they played very well together. After each set, these two want to know what advice I have to give showing their thirst for improvement. With that attitude, this duo will do great things,” Belknap said.
Ashworth and Westhoff came in seventh in their doubles matches.
“Serves are coming along nicely and the duo are coming together,” said Belknap.
The Iola JV tennis team plays at Chanute next Monday at 3 p.m.
