The Shoreline School District will be well represented next May when the Boys Tennis Finals are held in Kennewick.

The Shorewood team finished a dream season, winning the Northwest District One 3A Tournament. The T-Birds went undefeated (10-0) in league matches, 15-1 overall. The sole blemish on their mark was a loss to undefeated (16-0) 4A District Champion Jackson HS.

SW’s Gunnar Thorstenson claimed the District Singles Championship, defeating Colin Weller from Squalicum in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Thorstenson will go into State a number one seed.

Also winning the District championship and advancing to state for the T-Birds as a number one seed is their doubles team of Andrew Counter and Steven Lin.
