It was a fun filled start to the year in January for the Strive girls. Anna Claire and Kelsey racked up the bling bling at the highest level Southern event of the year, the Winter Southern Level One event in Macon, Ga. Anna Claire had her all time best showing in a Level One Southern event achieving a 5th place finish en route to a 5-1 record for the week in singles. Anna Claire and Kelsey played with different partners but also made it all the way to the doubles final securing Strives first Southern Level One Doubles title while also finishing runner up at the same time. Interestingly enough the coaches and parents found it a bit more relaxing to have an all Strive final. It seems this is a win/win proposition that we wouldn’t mind getting used to.
