The following is the text from a Scott Springer article found at Cincinnati.com about our Girls' Varsity Tennis Team.

WYOMING — The young women who wield tennis racquets for Wyoming High School would like to accomplish something that hasn’t been done in 10 years.
In 2003, Wyoming held a share of the Cincinnati Hills League championship with Mariemont and Indian Hill. In every other year since many of the girls were born (1997), the title went through Indian Hill.
That much hasn’t changed.
“I think Indian Hill’s the biggest competition we’ve got,” new Wyoming coach Michael Kindred said. “They’re always there. They have a bunch of returning players too. It’s going to be tough.”
Kindred most recently helped coached the highly successful boys in Mason and has inherited a talented group of girls who routinely gather behind Spring Valley Bank at the Cowboys home courts.
Junior Haley Thoresen won her opening round at the state tournament last year and is steady at No. 1 singles.
“She’s very talented,” Kindred said. “She had a good win over Mason, a good Division I school recently in two close sets. She’s a grinder. She hits the ball hard from both sides and has a great serve.”
After Thoresen, senior Maddie Boster is at No. 2 singles. Her younger sisters, Annie and Ellen often trade off at No. 3 singles.
Junior Rachel Berg and senior Ellen Koesterman are at first doubles with great aspirations this year after another year together. Two years ago, at No. 2 doubles, they were undefeated.
“They’re a real good team,” Kindred said. “We expect them to go to state also this year. Rachel Berg is the sister of Ashley Berg, who played for us last year.”
Rounding out Wyoming’s lineup are Camille Wilson and Marie Lippert at No. 2 doubles.
Outside of the CHL schedule, the Cowboys haven’t shied away from anyone. On this year’s menu already has been Princeton, Mason, Columbus Academy and Lakota West. Loveland, Sycamore, CHCA and CCD are on the horizon.
“Our goal’s to schedule good competition,” assistant Tom Tobias said. “We’re not looking to be an undefeated team. We’re looking long term. We’re looking to play the best teams, so we play Division I teams.”
Next up for Kindred’s crew are two of those DI teams. Loveland looks to deposit some shots on the Spring Valley Bank courts Sept. 5, with the Lady Aves of Sycamore trying to cash in Sept. 9.
“It’s a great bunch of girls and they really have fun,” Kindred said.
