FARMINGTON HILLS — Talk about a weekend he’ll never forget: North Farmington senior Jack Weingarden entered the Division 2 state finals unseeded and with memories of only making it to round 2 in 2023.
The veteran defied the odds and made a magical run, defeating the No. 2 seed and a pair of unseeded players to reach the state championship match Oct. 19 at Kalamazoo College.
His journey had a bittersweet ending when No. 4 seed Connor Schultz was forced to retire after taking a 5-3 lead in the first set, but it resulted in Weingarden becoming a state champion in 3 singles.
Regardless, it was an incredible journey for Weingarden, who ended his high school tennis career as a state champion.
Weingarden was also crowned the Region 9 champion for 3 singles Oct. 9 at Ypsilanti Lincoln High School.
