Wyoming Coaches Association Announces 2024 All-State Honors
The 2024 all-state tennis awards from the Wyoming High School Season were released by the Wyoming Coaches Association on Tuesday. There were 46 players from 11 different schools who received the honor. All-State awards for tennis are not voted on. They are determined based on a player’s finish at the state tournament. According to WCA guidelines, the top six in No. 1 singles, the top three in No. 2 singles, the top three in No. 1 doubles, and the top two in No. 2 and No. 3 doubles receive recognition.
