The University School of Milwaukee boys’ tennis team won the 2025 Division 2 team state championship, its first since 2015, on Saturday, June 14. The team, which entered the team tournament as the top seed, triumphed over Altoona, 5-2, in the championship match, played at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Nielsen Stadium. The team had advanced following a 7-0 victory over Edgewood on Friday, June 13.
The Wildcats scored victories in two of the four singles matches. Oliver Boyd ’26 won his match at the number-one position, and Deven Sharma ’27 was victorious in his match at the number-two position. The two of them also competed at the individual state tournament in Madison one week earlier. Also competing in singles at team state were Hayden Baum '25 and Henry Ji '28.
The Wildcats’ doubles teams, meanwhile, swept the team tournament. Miles Gourlay ’25 and Jack Gilpin ’25, who placed runner-up at the 2025 individual state tournament earlier in June, won their match at the number-one doubles position. Beckett Stratton ’25 and Will Merluzzi-Hitler ’26, who also competed in doubles play at the state individual championship a week earlier, played to victory at the number-two position; and Matteo Gaggion ’28 and PJ Heiny ’28 also contributed with a win at the number-three slot.
