Amanda Dick 4th In State

What a truly wonderful weekend it was for the likeable sophomore Amabda Dick as she became the first tennis player in St. Joseph history to medal. Amanda won over plenty of fans in the process in taking fourth place at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Division-2 State Individual Tournament. The two-time State qualifier lost to top-seed and eventual champion Caroline Starck of Williams Bay-Big Foot 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinal before falling to third-seed Rachel Vrabec (26-2) of Xavier 6-1, 6-3 in the third-place match. While it was a tough ending, Dick (19-3) closed out the finest season in school history.
