Senior Julia Ludwig led the charge in singles, finishing as state runner-up. Ludwig, seeded in the 5-8 grouping, rattled off three straight-set wins on opening day, including a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Conant's Khrystyna Pivtorak.

Ludwig fell to state champion Estela Loureiro 6-2, 6-3 in the final. She trailed 5-0 in the second set before mounting a three-game run against Loureiro, a training partner of hers.
"She's kind of special, don't you think?" head coach Jerry Morse-Karzen said of Ludwig, who competed at state all four years of her high school career.
Junior Ingrid Fiedler placed sixth in singles, earning her third state medal in three years. The doubles team of senior Lily Hermann and sophomore Olivia Orlando finished fourth after winning their first four matches. Seniors Annabel Kim and Zeyn Malm went 4-2 and reached the consolation semifinals.
The four-peat is the first in IHSA girls tennis since Hinsdale Central won four straight from 2007 to 2010, according to The Record. No girls tennis program has won five in a row.
