Cair Paravel Latin Class 3A-1A state doubles finalists Eric Buchenau and Drew Fay headline the 2025 All-City boys tennis team, which includes seven state medalists and 12 state qualifiers.
Buchenau and Fay, both juniors, went 29-2 on the season, with both losses coming against Wichita Collegiate's undefeated state champions, Carter and Maddox Drumright, who took a three-set win over Cair Paravel in the state final.
Hayden seniors Chase Blaser and Evan George placed fourth in 4A doubles while Washburn Rural juniors Cale Deutscher and Dylan Willingham finished seventh in 6A doubles and Cair Paravel freshman Cole Fay was 10th in 3A-1A singles.
All six Washburn Rural players earned All-City spots as the Junior Blues swept city, Centennial League and Class 6A regional team championships before finishing ninth in the 6A state tournament at Junction City.
In addition to Deutscher and Willingham, Rural is also represented on the All-City team by Greyson Jones, Keegan Knudtson, Kieffer O'Connor and Ben Tryhus.
Rounding out the All-City team are junior city No. 1 singles champion and 6A state qualifier Tres Lassiter and Seaman senior 5A state singles qualifier Ethan Winters, who helped lead the Vikings to United Kansas Conference and 5A regional team titles.

Coming off a four-goal loss to state power Washburn Rural in its regular-season finale, Seaman soccer bounced back in a big way Tuesday, opening Class 5A postseason with an 11-0 regional victory over city rival Highland Park at Seaman.

Seaman coach Kyle Seevers said it was good to see his Vikings get back on track.
"After that under-manned game against Washburn Rural (5-1 loss) we had graduation and graduation parties all weekend, so it was like get a little training in yesterday and just get back at it and play a game today and have some fun and win and advance,'' Seevers said.

Junior Ava Golightley had a four-goal night for the Vikings while junior Ryin Miller had a three-goal hat trick, sophomore Monique Wilson two goals and seniors Anna Becker and Maegan Mills a goal apiece for the Vikings, who improved to 12-5-0 on the season.
Mills combined with Kelecia Hale for the shutout in goal while Mills' goal was the first of her high school career.
Tuesday's game ended at halftime by way of the eight-goal spread rule.

Seaman baseball gave itself a chance for a comeback semifinal victory in Wednesday's Class 5A regional tournament at Seaman, but Andover Central came up with just enough big plays to take a 5-4 eight-inning win over the Vikings.

"We knew we were getting a quality opponent in Andover Central, a team that last year was the No. 1 seed in the West and had a lot of returners on the field for them,'' Seaman coach Trent Oliva said. "So we knew our work was cut out for us and it was one of those games where it just kind of went back and forth and we were kind of grinding and able to get it tied back at three but tip your cap to them.
"They made more plays at the end with two outs and were able to get that done.''
With the game knotted 3-3 after seven innings, No. 14 seed Andover Central took a 5-3 lead in the top of the eighth, scoring on a wild pitch and a run-scoring single from junior Carter Inslee.
But No. 3 seed Seaman responded with a rally of its own in the bottom of the inning, opening the frame with back-to-back doubles from seniors Max Huston and David Dobbs, with Huston scoring on Dobbs' double to cut the Vikings' deficit to 5-4.
Dobbs stole third base on a walk to sophomore Axton Brewer, but Andover Central threw out Dobbs at home on a bunt for the first out of the inning.
After recording a strikeout for the second out, Seaman got a single from senior Bryer Finley to load the bases before Jaguar senior reliever Jace Jefferson was able to end the game on a groundout to shortstop.
Seaman, which graduates eight seniors, ended its season with a solid 18-8 campaign.

It took a clutch effort and some hand wringing, but the Seaman Vikings rode a team effort to qualify as a team for the Class 5A state boys golf tournament next week at Emporia.

With the team’s fate in question, Seaman senior Bradley Williamson came down to the last hole believing he needed a par to qualify for state as an individual. With a crowd watching the final group come in, Williamson drew a long putt to within three feet of the hole, then drained it for a par.
When the final scores were entered, a tie with Basehor-Linwood became apparent. Williamson’s par had been crucial for the entire team.
“Going into 18, my coach mentioned that he thought the (individual) cut line was going to be in the 84, 85 range,” said Williamson, who finished with an 83. “He didn’t know how the rest of the team was doing. He didn’t let me know that. I just knew I had to get a good score to give myself a chance. I felt a lot of relief draining it. There was a lot of pressure standing over it because we had a gallery.”
The tie with Basehor-Linwood was broken by the score of the fifth man of each team. Seaman’s Alex Flanagan had carded an 88 while the Bobcats’ fifth man recorded a 92.
“It’s a lot more fun to take the whole group down,” Seaman coach Rick Rineberg said. “Over the past few weeks, we’ve played our best golf and it really came out today in a big way. They are a tight-knit group. So, it makes it all the more fun to be able to take everybody down with us.”
Leading the Vikings with an 82 was sophomore Evan Michalski. He will be making his first trip to state.
It’s really exciting,” Michalski said. “I started off kind of rough through the first couple of tournaments. I’m just happy I’m starting to go on the scoring for the team.
“I think today my head was in the game. There were mistakes I definitely made, but I think I can get a lot better if I stop making those mistakes that I know I can fix.”
Rineberg was quick to praise assistant coach Jeff Schuh for his contribution to the team’s success.
“Four out of the six kids on this year’s state-qualifying team either spent all last year on the JV or part of the year on JV,” Rineberg said. “So, Coach Schuh deserves a huge shoutout for the development of our quote-unquote “farm system” to get those kids ready for when they meet the challenges like today.
Joining the Vikings at state will be Shawnee Heights’ Ayden Valdivia, who makes his second trip to state. The T-Bird junior hopes the fates are kinder this year than they were last.
Valdivia was in Newton, site of last year’s 5A state meet, the night before the event when the town was hit by a tornado. A gust of wind lifted Valdivia off his feet and threw him roughly to the ground. He was treated in the local emergency room, which was operating without electricity.
Valdivia took the course the next day with a severe abrasion on his right hip.
“I wound up playing pretty well,” Valdivia recalled. “I birdied like six holes, but I just had to tough it out. I hope I can just show how much I’ve improved and shoot better than I did with the injury.”
Valdivia is carrying on the family legacy. His brother Justice won Class 4A state playing for Hayden in 2011. Brother Alex took sixth at 5A state for Shawnee Heights in 2023. His sister Lauryn, a Shawnee Heights sophomore, has already made two trips to state.
“It’s just an everyday thing,” Valdivia said. “We go out and play tournaments with my family. It’s been part of our family for as long as I can remember.”
The Class 3A Regional meet was held at Lake Shawnee simultaneous to the 5A event. Silver Lake served as host but failed to qualify as a team or to send any individuals to the state meet. Coach Johnny Roberts reflected on the improvement he saw in the team during the season.
"I would say it was a season of growth and development,” Roberts said. “We had a lot of guys who hadn’t had varsity experience, and they needed to get that experience, to know what it feels like. So, we had some peaks and valleys. We’ve got some young guys that we’re trying to develop, so next year looks better.”

LEAVENWORTH -- On the warmest day of the 2025 track season, Leavenworth High School hosted the United Kansas Conference track meet on Thursday.

Seaman junior Ryin Miller continued her winning ways this season with a sweep of the 1,600-meter (4:47.54) and 800- meter (2:22.53) races.
“I was happy with the 1,600 and the main goal was to secure the points for our team,'' Miller said. "In the 800, once I noticed that Kelsie (Kudzia of Leavenworth) wasn’t running, I decided to run a smarter race and get the 10 points for the team.”
Seaman junior Brody Anderson (1) won the 800 meters in Thursday's UKC meet at Leavenworth. [File photo/TSN]
Seaman junior Brody Anderson came back after a fourth-place finish in the 1600 meters to win the 800-meter championship in a time of 1:57.70.
He commented on his comeback after the 1,600 meter race:
“I wasn’t mad, I just gotta come back strong, can’t give up and have to have a positive mindset,'' Anderson said. "It was a great competition and I'm thankful to race these other guys. I’m looking forward to getting a little more out of myself over the next couple of weeks.”
Seaman senior Bryce Cochran won the 400-meter title with a time of 48.43 seconds.
Cochran commented on his preparation not only during the season but last offseason:
“The race went well,'' Cochran said. "I like running against tough competition like Austin Lindsay (De Soto). I’ve worked really hard this past offseason and the hard work is paying off.”
He came back later in the evening to finish second in the 200 dash with a time of 22.10 seconds.

Topeka West senior Adrian Lehman followed up on his exciting victories in the 1,600 meters and 3,200 meters at last week’s city meet by winning the 1,600-meter race in a time of 4:20.77. He also placed fourth in the 800 meters with a time of 1:59.08.

Cair Paravel Latin juniors Eric Buchenau and Drew Fay had to sweat out a few anxious moments in their Class 3A-1A quarterfinal doubles match Friday at Kossover Tennis Center, but the Lion standouts got the job done, advancing to Saturday's 9 a.m. state semifinal.

Buchenau and Fay, the No. 3 seed, went 2-0 on the day, including a 6-2, 6-4 quarterfinal win over Central Plains' Paxton Dody and Peyton Dody to improve to 28-1 on the season and will face No. 2 seeds William Farha and Vihaan Ganganola of Wichita Collegiate in the semis.
After a 6-0, 6-0 romp in their first match of the day, Fay and Buchenau jumped in front 5-2 in the second set of the quarterfinals before Dody and Dody cut their deficit to 5-4.
Central Plains seemed to have some momentum at that point, but the Lions were able to hold serve and close out the win.
"It was definitely frustrating,'' said Buchenau about the close second set, "but even if you play bad you have to find a way to win and we did that.''
Fay agreed.
"It definitely wasn't how we wanted it to go and we struggled for sure, but we were just scrapping out every point and got the win,'' Fay said.
"We hopefully got the bad bullets out today so we can just play our game tomorrow.''

Cair Paravel freshman singles player Cole Fay also advanced to Saturday's medal matches, going 3-1 on the day.
Cole Fay moved on to Saturday with an 8-5 win over Phillipsburg senior Nathan Fischer and can still finish as high as fifth place.

Senior Night was capped with a Salvy Splash, Shawnee Heights style.

Shawnee Heights rode the pitching of junior Brody Cooper and some scrappy plate appearances to defeat Seaman 5-0 at the Bettis Sports Complex Tuesday. The T-Birds had defeated the Vikings 6-3 in extra innings the previous Friday.
The win lifted Shawnee Heights to a 19-7 season mark. The T-Birds had already locked up the league title prior to first pitch Tuesday, but Brown chose to not reveal that fact until after the game.
“One of our goals at the beginning of the season was to win the UKC,” Brown said. “And I wanted them to not just be happy with it but to go and take it. And that’s what they did tonight.”
The T-Birds scratched out three runs in the second inning, each runner crossing the plate on a base-on-balls. They plated two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth on a ringing single by Carson Garner.
Cooper held Seaman to just a single through the first six innings, recording seven strikeouts in the process. When the Vikings’ Cale Rosenberger led off the seventh with a double, Brown lifted Cooper for reliever Dolton Wyatt. Wyatt protected the 5-0 lead with three straight outs.
“That’s one of the best pitching performances I’ve seen in a long time,” Brown said of Cooper’s effort. “Every pitch he was throwing, he was throwing for strikes. They were competitive. He wasn’t out of the zone. He was allowing them to make contact and then allowing our defense to play behind him. He got a ton of popups and our outfield play was unbelievable.
“He’s a big kid, throws hard, has four or five pitches that he can throw for strikes. I told him at the beginning of the season, ‘Our season’s going to ride on you, man. No pressure. But as you go, we go.’ ”
“Outfield was electric. Couldn’t have done any better,” Cooper said. “Third baseman Jackson Hayes … perfect. It makes my job a lot easier.”

The Seaman boys finished fourth at the United Kansas Conference golf tournament at Shawnee Country Club Monday, the top finisher among the league’s three Topeka schools.
Pacing the Vikings was junior Jordan Burghart, who shot 77, just one stroke out of first place. Burghart finished in a three-way tie for third, his best finish of the season.
“It was fun today. Tough competition. A lot of good golfers,” Burghart said. “I think I did pretty well aside from one blow-up hole. Other than that, it was pretty good.”
The junior’s 77 was his best round of the season and the third-place finish was his highest finish. He now looks forward to the Class 5A regional meet to be held at Lake Shawnee next Monday.
“I’ve just got to shot what I did today, or in the low 80s, to go to state,” Burghart said. “I’ve got to have my driver. If that’s not going, it’s not going well.”
De Soto claimed the league crown by shooting 318 as a team. Basehor-Linwood finished two strokes back. Seaman finished a shot behind Lansing, which posted a 329.
“This was our best team score of the year, so it’s always nice to shoot your best score going into the end of the year,” said Seaman coach Rick Rineberg. “I’m really proud of the development of the team. I told them before the meet, they’re a really fun group to be around and hopefully we get to play for two more weeks, not just one more week.
“To qualify for state as a team, we just have to play our game and just kind of understand who we are as golfers. We don’t have anybody on the team that is going to out and light it up and shoot six, seven under par. But we have a lot of guys that can grind it out and shoot in the high 70s and low 80s.”
Basehor-Linwood senior Logan Anderson and Lansing senior A.J. Allen finished tied for first with an 18-hole score of 76. They dueled in a playoff hole that saw Anderson par for the win.
Joining Seaman’s Burghart in the top 10 was Topeka West’s Blaze Schultz. The Charger sophomore finished in a four-way tie for seventh was a round of 80.
“I felt pretty good,” said Schultz, whose best round of the season was a 79 at Western Hills, good for second in that meet. “I played good in the back, one over. Front nine was a little rough, but I finished strong.
Schultz reflected on his prospects to qualify for state in light of his finish in the UKC meet.
“I’ve got to shoot low 80s, 85. That’s the goal,” Schultz said about next week’s regional meet. “I’m feeling pretty good (about my development). I can’t wait to keep improving.”
Leading way for Shawnee Heights was junior Ayden Valdivia, who carded an 81, earning a spot on the All-United Kansas Conference Second Team.

Hayden senior Kaylee Gregg pulled off a rare feat in Friday's Topeka City Girls Swimming Championships at Capitol Federal Natatorium.
Washburn Rural took first in the city meet for the 22nd straight season, with two of their leading swimmers taking two first places each.
Trailing the Junior Blues’ 526 points was Seaman with 430. Topeka High finished in third place with 307.

Gregg accomplished the rare feat of winning the dive competition early in the day, then coming back to win an individual swim event. Gregg won the 50-yard freestyle and was also a part of two second-place relay teams for Hayden.
Gregg said she started swimming and diving as a freshman, having had no previous training. As a swimmer, she participates only on short races. But, in truth, she admitted she doesn’t train for swimming.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been to a swim practice,” Gregg said. “I just show up and do my best.
“I did gymnastics growing up and now I do cheer, so I had the stamina to be able to get through the 50s and the 100s,” Gregg said. “My dive coach is actually my gymnastics coach growing up. She really helped me. You’re going into water like we go into (gymnastics) pits, so it’s not that different.”
Gregg has qualified for state all four years as a diver and has participated at state on relay teams. She is holding out hope to qualify for the 50 freestyle, with one chance – the Centennial League meet – remaining.
While she didn’t quite eclipse the required time to qualify for state in the 50 freestyle, she received some other great news at the city meet.
“This has been a really cool night for me because I made the KU Cheer team today,” Gregg said. “I found out as soon as I got done with our first relay.”

Having a good day in her own right was Seaman senior Joslynn Grace, who took first in the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly. The senior has committed to swim at the University of Nebraska-Kearney after high school. She said she enjoyed participating in the city meet one last time.
“This was really exciting for me because I’m happy with my times,” Grace said. “The city meet is really fun to just watch everybody and see them all do their thing, too.
“Swim is like my second life. I love it so much. To practice and see yourself get better is like therapy for me. I’ve enjoyed it so much.”

"We do put an emphasis on this meet,'' Rural coach Keith Wetzel said. "We want to keep the golden shoes (championship trophies) in our trophy cases and we talk to the kids about the importance of this meet and doing well at this meet as it really is the beginning of the big four weeks of league, regional and state.
"Everyone contributes and we talk to the kids about how we need our depth and our depth is an advantage. Our kids have just been steadily improving each week and quietly putting together really good seasons.''

• Seaman junior Ryin Miller set city meet records in the girls 400 and 3,200 while also anchoring the Vikings' 4x400 relay to a victory.
Miller set the city record in the 400 in 56.81, which was also a school record, and obliberated the 39-year-old 3,200 meet record by 55 seconds with a winning time of 10:23.26.
Miller also teamed with Taylie Heston, Jaida Stallbaumer and Ally Steiner for a win in the 4x400 relay in 4:09.05 while Stallbaumer had a hand in three wins on the night, sweeping the titles in the 100 hurdles (15.88) and 300 hurdles (47.63).
The highlight of Miller's day was her performance in the open 400, an event she rarely runs and is not scheduled to run again this spring.
"That was kind of my goal of the night, to try to shoot for our school record in that,'' Miller said. "I think I just beat it so I was happy with that and also got the meet record, so that was kind of a bonus.
"The 400 was definitely my main focus tonight.''

"I felt good,'' Lehman said. "I really wanted to have a stronger mile (1,600) and then come out and just win the two mile (3,200), so I'm happy with how it went.''
Lehman said that it's enjoyable for him to be able to see all the top local distance runners together in the city meet.
"I love seeing these guys, seeing how they've progressed through this year and it's just a lot of fun racing them,'' Lehman said. "They're my friends, too, so it's fun seeing them.''
Lehman's West teammate, Mark Wilkie, finished second in the 800 (1:58.81) and third in the 1,600 (4:22.29).
