Chimacum duo take third at districts

TACOMA — Chimacum’s Ray Maki and Sarah Allen finished third in doubles play at the Class 1A West Central District girls tennis tournament at Charles Wright Academy.

The points Maki and Allen earned at Wednesday’s tournament gave Chimacum a fifth-place finish at districts.

Maki and Allen started strong in their first match, winning the first set against the Charles Wright’s top team. But they lost the second and third sets of the match to fall into the consolation bracket.

“There they defeated the other Charles Wright pair in two well-played sets,” Chimacum coach Laurie Olafson said.

Only the top doubles team and singles player advance to next week’s state tournament.

Maki and Allen are both seniors.

“This ends their strong four years of playing tennis for Chimacum,” Olafson said.

“They had lots of success, especially their last two years, in both regular season meets and in postseason tournaments.

“They put in extra effort and time on the courts, and worked their busy schedules so they could continue to improve the entire season.”
