CEDAR RAPIDS -- Katie Hammond's double duty of spring has extended into summer.

Soccer gave her a concussion. Tennis gave her a title.

Well, actually, two.

Hammond plowed through the 16-and-under girls' singles field at the Iowa Open Tennis Tournament, culminating her run with a 6-0, 6-1 breeze against Jenna Heil of Johnston in the championship match Friday at the Veterans Memorial Tennis Center.

"I wasn't hitting a lot of winners, so I was just trying to keep the ball in play," said Hammond, a junior-to-be at Cedar Rapids Washington.

Hammond was dominant throughout the tournament, dropping only nine games in her four-match blitz to the title.

She teamed with Riley Galbraith of Cedar Rapids to win the 18-and-under mixed doubles title Thursday and joined Catherine Butschi of Tyler, Texas, in a runner-up 16-and-under girls' doubles effort.

If that sounds like a handful, well, Hammond is used to it. She juggles soccer and tennis at Washington in the spring, and a blow to the head in a soccer showcase earlier this summer caused a concussion.

"I've tried to play as much as I could the past couple weeks," Hammond said.

"(Playing both sports) is a lot of work, and it's meant a lot of late nights, but I love both sports and both teams."

Brandon Schneider of Dubuque followed Thursday's 16U doubles title with a singles crown Friday, outlasting Brady Anderson of Cedar Rapids, 7-6 (7-3), 1-6, 1-0 (10-1) in one of several matches that concluded at Clark Racquet Center on the Coe College campus.

"In the second set, I was trying to speed up points too quick, and that doesn't work against Brady," said Schneider, a 15-year-old sophomore-to-be at Dubuque Wahlert.

Schneider was extremely good in the tie-breaker, scoring the first six points. The final point of the match came on a misconduct point against Anderson.

"I didn't miss a single ball in the tie-break," Schneider said.

Rami Hemaidan and Ty Sherman of Cedar Rapids, both of whom recently turned 10, claimed the 12U boys' doubles crown, winning their final match, 6-3, 6-3.

"This is only the third tournament we've played together," said Sherman, who will be a fourth-grader at Grant Wood Elementary. Hemaiden will be a fifth-grader at Pierce.

"It's fun to go to different places and play. We really communicate well."
