PIAA Girls' Tennis Champions - Singles

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) has crowned singles champions in girls' tennis since 1973. Each classification champion and additional student-athletes from the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) have qualified for the PIAA Championships since its inception, with PIAA District VII claiming a total of 24 state singles champions in the sport.

The WPIAL has produced multiple PIAA girls' tennis singles champions once, doing so in 2004. A total of six WPIAL student-athletes have captured multiple PIAA singles crowns: Shady Side Academy's Ananya Dua (2014, 2015), Plum's Ronit Yurovsky (2010, 2011), Greater Latrobe's Michaela Kissell (2003, 2004, 2005), Peters Township's Sarah Riske (1997, 1998), Mt. Lebanon's Kelly Kolankiewicz (1982, 1983), and Mt. Lebanon's Gretchen Rush (1979, 1981).
