Glacier added a second podium finisher in girls doubles as Cassidy and Cadence Daniels avenged a quarterfinal loss to Billings West's Piper Abrams and Marissa Bruyere to take third place 6-4, 6-2.

In the team competitions CMR claimed the boys title with 23 points, ahead of Gallatin (18) and Bozeman (16). Glacier finished the tournament fourth at 13 points.

In the girls standings, Hellgate took home the victory with 33 points. Gallatin was second at 26 and CMR third at 20, with Glacier again in fourth at 15.

The Knights duo of Wesley Banzinger and Emma Duman won in girls doubles over Gallatin's Alex Mansour and Raena Wilson.

Bozeman pair Harrison Rotar and Collin Gross nabbed the boys doubles crown over CMR's Eli Crist and Howard Daniel.
