Reyner retires at Wash with runnerup trophy

IOWA CITY – Win or lose Saturday at the Class 2A girls state tennis tournament, Cedar Rapids Washington Coach Dan Reyner had decided it was going to be his final match.

After 35 years of coaching, he had wanted to go out on top with a high school championship. He thought this might be the year with the second-best singles player in the state and a solid lineup from top to bottom.

“Any one of our top four girls could probably be the No. 1 player on eight out of 10 teams in Iowa," he said.

The Warriors had finished third last year but came back with experience and a top-flight freshman. With three straight state titles under their belt, Reyner knew the Little Cyclones of Ames were again the ones to beat.
