Senior Mitch Elofson and junior Nathan Huber made it through the Section 2A Doubles Tournament undefeated on Friday to earn a berth in the Class A state meet on June 7-8.
Elofson and Huber represented St. Peter in the section competition and opened Friday’s play with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Arend Turner and Jacob Moorhead of Mound Westonka. In the finals, the St. Peter duo defeated William Griffin and Wells Brose, also of Mound Westonka, by a score of 6-3, 6-0.
