Jett Spann and the teams of Courtney Mayberry/Natalie Szeflenski, Owen Reynolds/Nathan Uptagrafft, and Chloe Ashmead/Julie Lieu all advanced to the quarterfinals but fell just short of advancing to state. Rose Lewellen, Colton Smith, and the team of Gage Hyatt/Bryce Jones also qualified for the conference tournament and competed today.
