VALENCIA, Pa.— Two sisters won the Pittsburgh-area boys doubles tennis championship.
Karli and Tayla Timko defeated Tin Chu and Drew Gallatin of Thomas Jefferson High 6-2, 6-1 Friday to win the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League doubles title.
The sisters, from Chartiers-Houston High, competed in the boys division because their school dropped its girls tennis program. The Timkos won the girls doubles title last year.
The Timko sisters will compete in the Pennsylvania boys championships May 22-23.
Their father is Mike Timko, a former West Virginia quarterback in the 1980s. Their mother, Shari Retton Timko, is a former WVU gymnast and sister of 1984 Olympic all-around champion Mary Lou Retton.
