1 min read

Polk County sophomore Hannah Jenne capped an outstanding first season as a Wolverine by winning the Western Highlands Conference singles championship during last week’s conference tournament at Avery.

Jenne capped an undefeated season in singles play with a 10-2 victory over Hendersonville’s Annabelle Webb in the tournament final. She defeated Hendersonville’s Christine Donaldson 10-2 in her opening match, then knocked off Hendersonville’s Hamrick Perry 10-5 in the semifinals.

Jenne qualified for Friday’s 2A West Regional at Gardner-Webb with her finish. She is the second Wolverine to win a WHC singles championship in the past three seasons, with Alivia Livesay earning the WHC crown in 2014.
