KTGR is highlighting an outstanding local high school athlete each week!
This week features Columbia Independent tennis sophomore Wyatt Litton. Last Saturday at the Boonville Pirate Open, Wyatt finished second overall defeating players from Father Tolton, Fulton and Boonville. Wyatt also gained wins against Battle and Missouri Military Academy last week.
“Wyatt leads our team in individual wins with an impressive 15-3 singles record,” said CIS tennis coach Laurel Owen. “He has shown up and played hard in some serious matches like in singles matches against MMA and Rolla.
“This season, he has been an anchor for our team. He is quick to help out less experienced players, to encourage his teammates, and to be a leader. Wyatt sets the standard for our team both in tennis skill and in integrity.”
This weekend, Wyatt will compete in the Class 1 District 3 individual tournament in Mexico.
