WAUSAU — Marshfield’s No. 2 doubles team of Jared Draxler and Ayush Shukla won the championship in a three-set tiebreaker, and the Tigers finished in a tie for second at the 2016 Wisconsin Valley Conference Boys Tennis Tournament on Thursday at Wausau East and West high schools.

Draxler and Shukla defeated Shia Vang and Lucas Ratanawang of Wausau East 7-5, 2-6, 10-6 to claim the conference championship and help the Tigers to 22 points, which was tied for second with Stevens Point.

Wausau East won the tournament title with 25 points and — combined with its dual meet points — won the overall WVC championship, its first since 2011. Stevens Point had won the previous four and 11 of the last 12 conference titles.

Marshfield’s second-place finish is its best since taking second in 2012.

Marshfield’s No. 1 doubles team of Evan Fait and Derek Reckner finished second, losing in the championship match to Wausau West’s Ben Nichols and Ben Reich 6-3, 7-5.

Craig Paulman was second at No. 4 singles, losing in the title match to Stevie Hanzlik of Wisconsin Rapids 6-0, 6-4, and the No. 3 doubles team of of Isaac Houk and Luke Kaiser also placed second for Marshfield, falling in the championship match to Stephen Martell and Mario Duwe of Wausau East 6-4, 6-4.

Freshman Sam Haessly took third at No. 3 singles for the Tigers, winning the third-place match over Marcus Bean of Wisconsin Rapids 6-2, 6-3.

Marshfield will compete in the WIAA Division 1 subsectionals Monday at Tomah.
