The Marshalltown High School tennis teams both posted remarkable season records this spring, and the individual achievements that led to those squads’ successes were honored accordingly.

The Bobcats had a grand total of nine all-conference selections in a vote of the Iowa Alliance Conference’s North Division coaches, including a pair of unanimous first-team selections and four more unanimous second-team picks.

On the girls’ side, Marshalltown sophomore Kate Sandvick was a unanimous first-team honoree, while teammate Kennedy Feldman, a senior, was also a first-team selection. Sandvick and Feldman qualified for the Class 2A state doubles tournament together, going 1-2 at state before being ousted one win shy of a medal.

Sandvick went 10-2 in the No. 2 singles position this season for MHS, helping the Bobcats to a 12-0 regular season. Feldman was 7-5 as Marshalltown’s No. 1 singles player, finishing her career with a 34-20 singles mark.

Seniors Kate Hauser, Lily Zahnd and Reese Jensen were all selected to the all-conference second team. Hauser and Zahnd were unanimous choices. Hauser went 10-2 this spring at the No. 3 singles spot, while Zahnd was 12-0 at No. 4. Jensen finished 11-1 at the No. 5 position.

Zahnd posted a 22-3 career singles record in two years, while Hauser was 11-2 with a lone individual singles win during her junior campaign.

The Bobcat girls went 13-1 overall, beating Council Bluffs Jefferson in regionals before falling to eventual state runner-up Dowling Catholic in the regional finals.

For the Marshalltown boys, senior Isaac Benscoter was a unanimous choice by the coaches for the all-Alliance first team, and fellow senior Adam Boone was a first-team pick as well.

Benscoter went 10-5 at the No. 1 singles position for MHS this spring and completed his prep career with a 33-20 overall singles mark. Boone was 9-4 this season at the No. 2 spot and finished his Bobcat playing days with a 19-7 singles record.

Two more Marshalltown preps were unanimous second-team selections as well in senior Jacob Christen and junior Caleb Rasmussen. Christen went a combined 10-3 playing between Nos. 2-4 in the Bobcat singles lineup, while Rasmussen went 13-0 overall with 12 wins at the No. 3 spot.

Christen compiled an 18-9 career singles record at MHS, while Rasmussen is 14-0 so far.

The Bobcats also went 13-1 in the regular season before finishing 14-2 as a team, beating Mason City in the substate semifinals before falling to Linn-Mar in the substate finals.
