Steamboat Springs — Editor's note: This story has been corrected from its original version. Becky Lamb and Meg Tully won the women's 4.5 doubles division of the Steamboat Tennis Association Championships, and Ali Diehl won the women's 3.5 singles division.

Generations of all sorts took to the courts, and that was the best part of the weekend's Steamboat Tennis Association Championships, Jim Swiggart said Sunday after the final matches had ended.

"We had 20 future high school players playing in the junior divisions, 11 current high school players and six past high school players all playing in the adult divisions," said Swiggart, director of the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs. "It just turned out great."

The tournament was a fundraiser for local high school tennis teams and junior programs. The three-day event featured the largest field in its 17-year history, Swiggart said.

"Probably half the field was adults who have children who no longer play for the team," he said. "But they enjoy the event so much and enjoy supporting the program so much, they continue coming back out each year."

Individual champions at this year's event included Coyt Majure in the men's 3.0-3.5 singles division, Steve Harrison in men's 4.0 singles, Keegan Burger in 4.5 singles, Louis Nijsten in men's 5.0 singles, Ali Diehl in women's 3.5 singles, Christina Allevato in women's 4.0 singles and Molly Weiss in women's 4.5 singles.

Doubles champions included Bert Halberstadt and William McGinnis in the men's 3.0 division, David Oakley and Nick Sharp in the men's 3.5 division, John Reif and Glynn Sisson in the men's 4.0 division, William Krueger and Jeff Lampas in the men's 4.5 division, Kim Haggarty and Jennifer Holdeman in the women's 3.0 division, Karen O'Connor and Lisa Smalley in the women's 3.5 division, Faye Milne and Vicki Sharp in the women's 4.0 division, Becky Lamb and Meg Tully in the women's 4.5 division, Dusica Sunila and Thomas Sunila in 3.0-3.5 mixed doubles, and Carol Bender and C.J. Burger in 4.0 mixed doubles. Teague Burger won the junior singles red classification, Madeline Labor won the junior blue class, and Gabriele Erspamer won the junior gold class.
