Wyatt Helberg breezed through the Section 6A individual tournament over Memorial weekend without dropping more than two points in any game.

The top seeded Helberg cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win in the first round before taking care of the eighth seeded Caden Danielson in the second round 6-1, 6-0.

In the semifinals, the junior had another easy time, winning 6-1, 6-1 over Jacob Tiessen of Fridley.

In the finals, where things would normally start to advance in the defree of difficulty, Helberg again made quick work of his opponent, winning 6-0, 6-1 over Joe Sampson of Mora.

Helberg will have a high seed in the state tourney. He finished fourth last year, and the state champion is out with injury, all but guaranteeing him a top three seed. 

Both second and third place finishers return, but Helberg has made huge strides this year and will be ready for the challenge.

The state tournament will be at the Reed-Sweatt Tennis Center in Minneapolis on June 4-5.
