PREP TENNIS South's Bartlett takes third at district Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 17, 2015 at 2:00 AM Posted May. 17, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News South Medford junior Kelsey Bartlett fell short in the singles semifinals but bounced back to place third on the final day of the Southwest Conference girls tennis district tournament at South Medford High Saturday. Thanks to her efforts, South Medford was able to finish in a tie for third place with Roseburg at 19 points apiece. South Eugene scored 28 points to edge Sheldon (20) for the SWC team title. Bartlett will be the lone player from Medford to play in next week’s Class 6A state tournament since only the top four finishers in singles and doubles qualify for the event. After coming up short in a three-set loss to Willamette’s Ivana Bilski, 6-1, 1-6, 6-2, Bartlett regrouped to not lose a game in a 6-0, 6-0 win over Thurston’s Sarah Morris in the third-place final. Eustis edged Bilski for the SWC singles title, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3. In doubles, the Grants Pass tandem of Abi Johnson and McKenna Stephenson cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 win over South Eugene’s Jackie Bahn and Hannah Nute in the championship final.
