Did anyone even know Illinois had a state championship in individual girls badminton?
There was a huge upset last month in the girls final. Mount Prospect???‚¬?„?s Lindsay Gibbel, the No. 2 seed, defeated the #1 seed Karishma Kollipara a junior from Hinsdale Central. Kollipara entered the match having never been beaten at the prep level and looking to become the first player in state history to win three consecutive titles. She had been 99-0 in her career before the upset.
