The Hazen boys’ tennis team took fourth place at the 3A state tournament behind champion Mercer Island, second place Bellevue and third place Garfield.

Individually, Bruno Hernandez Sotres finished in fifth place and Gregg Furumasu placed eighth, both in boys’ singles.

Misa Takami placed seventh in girls’ singles with enough points to earn Hazen a tie for 11th place overall with Lincoln High School. The girls team championship also went to Mercer Island.

According to coach Gail Ellis, Furumasu and Takami both battled through some aggravating injuries to earn their medals. Both fought through tough three-setters to win their third match before falling in their fourth. Bruno played exceptionally well and lost only to Zach Fleischman from Bellevue 6-4, 6-3, who finished in second place.
