Crosby completed a perfect season last weekend 30-0, with his final four wins at the Lower Peninsula Division 2 Finals earning him the championship at No. 1 singles. Top-seeded in the bracket, he clinched with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Birmingham Seaholm’s second-seeded Carter Griffith. 

This was Crosby’s third appearance in a championship match at the Finals; he finished No. 2 singles runner-up as a freshman and No. 1 singles runner-up as a junior. Crosby’s only losses those seasons came in those title-deciding matches, and his sophomore-year Finals ended with a first-round defeat against Griffith. Crosby finished with a four-year singles record of 123-5 – with those wins ranking 13th on the MHSAA career list – and claimed 19 victories this fall by 6-0, 6-0 scores. He also plays basketball for South Lyon East, and he’s hoping to continue his tennis career at the collegiate level. His brother Cameron plays at Kalamazoo College.

Senior ♦ Swimming

Eichbrecht finished her high school career last week by completing career Finals sweeps in the 200 and 500-yard freestyles at the Lower Peninsula Division 1 championship meet at Oakland University. She set all-Finals records in both races, swimming a 1:45.05 in her 200 prelim to break the 2007 record set by past Canton star and later Olympic medalist Allison Schmitt. Her 500 prelim time of 4:42.00 broke the 2017 record set by Grand Ledge's Lola Mull.

Eichbrecht went on to swim 1:45.98 in the 200 and 4:42.89 in her championship races to win them by more than 5 and 16 seconds, respectively. She had entered the meet with seed times of 1:45.48 and 4:41.54. She improved on her Finals times from a year ago by three seconds in the 200 and nearly 10 in the 500. Eichbrecht will continue at Indiana, which is coming off a record fourth-place finish at last season's NCAA championship meet.
