Medina Boys Tennis
State Champion with a team GPA of 97.692
A perennial league title contender on the courts, Medina High School’s boys tennis squad has proved to be equally formidable as perennial state champions in the classroom. The Mustangs compiled a composite average of 97.692, the highest of more than 600 boys tennis programs in the state. This earned them a record setting fourth NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete State Championship. The four-peat is a first for any school in any sport in the state. “Earning it four years in a row epitomizes the efforts of the kids. They really put academics first” said Athletic Director Matt McKenna. “It ‘s a remarkable achievement and just a wonderful honor. They are building a rich tradition.”
The Mustangs have been equally successful on the court the past three years with one Niagara Orleans League Championship and two second place finishes including a 26 match-winning streak at one stretch.
“As student athletes, these kids are involved in a lot of activities and they are very focused, very motivated and very disciplined to balance them all and be successful” said coach Chris Horgan. ”And they are very proud of this honor.”
