Cooperrider and Antone Win Gold
Jordan Cooperrider (Palm Harbor, Fla.) came to Minneapolis with a National Championship already in her pocket on the year as she captured the 2016 High School Girl’s Singles National Title in February in Portland, Ore. At the Junior Olympic Championships, Jordan cruised through the Girl’s 18 & Under Singles draw only dropping a single game all week long. Coupled with her win in the Girl’s 18 & Under Doubles Division, Cooperrider now has won 15 Junior National Titles. At the 2015 World Championships, she earned a Gold Medal in the Girl’s 16 & Under Doubles competition. Jordan will be a senior at Palm Harbor University High School this fall.
The 2016 Boy’s 18 & Under Singles National Champion is Wayne Antone (Eugene, Ore.). Wayne entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed and upset the No. 1 and No. 3 ranked players en-route to his first Junior National Singles Title. Antone had previously won two Junior National Doubles Championships (2015 – Boy’s 16 & Under Doubles / 2011 – Boy’s 12 & Under Doubles). Last year’s title earned Antone a spot on the 2015 U.S. Junior National Team were he represented his country at the Junior World Championships in the Dominican Republic. At that global event, Wayne and his playing partner earned a Silver Medal. Antone is 2016 graduate of Churchill High School and during his high school career captured two Oregon High School State Championships in the Boy’s Singles division.
