Fisher and Huczek Repeat in St. Louis
by Ryan John

 Repeat performances at this year's Wilson 14th U.S. National High School Championships earned wins for Adrienne Fisher (Centerville High/Centerville, Ohio) and Jack Huczek (Adams High/Rochester Hills, Mich.) as both captured singles titles for the second straight year, extending their current positions on the U.S. Junior National Team for another term. This is the first time in history that the High School Championships have seen repeat winners in both divisions.

Huczek cruised to his second title, giving up just 16 points the entire tournament while becoming only the second player to ever repeat as boys' champion. In the finals he met up with Bart Crawford (Henley High/Klamath Falls, Ore.) defeating him, 15-4, 15-6.

Staying on pace to match the existing record of three consecutive High School Championships, Fisher dominated her division, defeating Elise Wilson 15-8, 15-6 to capture her second straight title. By defeating Wilson, Fisher avenged her sister, Kelly Fisher, who was defeated by Wilson in a grueling semifinal match 13-15, 15-9, 11-9, keeping the final from becoming a true sibling rivalry.

The girl's doubles final did, however, become a family affair as Adrienne and Kelly teamed up to take the title over Katie Huelsing and Betsy Rombach (Henley High/St. Louis, Mo.), 15-3, 15-2. The win not only gave the sisters two medals each but helped propel Centerville High School to its first ever girl's team title.

Jeremy Huss and Kirk Pauley (Aberdeen Central High/Aberdeen S.D.) dashed the hopes of brothers Joe Klibowitz and Andy Klibowitz (Hamilton High/Sussex, Wis.) by defeating them, 12-15, 15-7, 11-6 in the gold medal match.

Laurie Fisk and Dan Costello (Kirkwood HS/St. Louis, Mo.) were able to help their team capture the overall title with wins over the teams of Lynn Berg and Raul Cordero (Sprague HS/Salem, Ore.) and Bart Crawford and Kynzie Dalton (Hensley HS/Klamath Falls, Ore.) in the semifinals and finals, respectively.
