Performance of the Week: Imlay City's Levi Lengemann
October 16, 2026
Levi Lengemann ♦ Imlay City
Senior ♦ Tennis
Lengemann won both of his matches at No. 1 singles Oct. 5 at the Blue Water Area Conference Tournament, completing a perfect run against league competition this fall and leading Imlay City to its first league championship in boys tennis since 1984. He finished this season 17-4 overall and was named BWAC Most Valuable Player.
The Spartans' ace hadn't played much tennis before high school but began his career playing No. 4 singles as a freshman. He climbed the next season into the No. 2 spot before playing No. 1 his final two seasons, and he finished with a 41-31 career record. Lengemann also plays baseball for Imlay City and previously played basketball. He's considering studying business in college and would like to eventually become an electrician.
