ShawnaP was an excellent representative of the WDA in Connecticut. The 15 players were randomly divided into 2 pools for preliminary play. Shawna's pool had the better players, so she got to compete against the best players in the nation.
Shawna beat last year's national champion 2-1. Then had matches against this year's winner followed by this year's runner-up. That's a TOUGH lineup to start the competition. After that Shawna won some and lost some.
Not many of us can say we were ever in matches at that level.
Congratulations, Shawna. Top 15 in the Nation. Played basically heads-up against all in her division other than the winner and runner-up. That's like an NFL team losing to the 2 teams in the Super Bowl.
Thank you, Shawna for being the outstanding representative from the WDA we know you were. Thank you for showing that players from Wichita belong in this event and can compete with and win their share of games against the best the nation has to play against.

Great site Merlin, I finally got the address right. I agree, Wichita has some great youth darters. The future of the WDA is solid. When you have players like Shawna, Katherine, Lizzy, and the others beating adults already, imagine what they'll be like in 5-10 years.
Katherine is ranked 2nd in the region, ahead of many experienced adults. To throw against a youth player is a challenge and they will also show the pure love of the game that so many have forgotten. Thank you youth players for making Wichita proud
