Mark & Rohloff – Gold Medalists at 2011 Cornhusker State Games

Mark & RohloffRenate Mark and Jon Rohloff claimed the Gold Medal honors at the 2011 Cornhusker State Games on Sunday in the 7.0 Mixed Doubles Division.

Playing in less than ideal conditions – air temperature at 100 degrees with high humidity and purple courts raising the on-court temperature to almost illegal limits – they defeated Cathy Nelson and Mark Schwarting of Lincoln in round one of round robin play 7-6, 6-4. In round two, they played against Julie Benes and Stan Benes of Seward. They won the 1st set 6-2, and were up 3-0 when Julie had to retire due to the heat, giving Renate and Jon the title.

Congratulations on a good win and championship honors.
