Caldwell became the fourth Grand Rapids West Catholic tennis standout – and second from his family in three seasons – to win a Finals championship at No. 1 singles when he claimed the Lower Peninsula Division 4 top-flight title at Midland Tennis Center with a 6-2, 6-3, victory over Traverse City St. Francis' Owen Jackson. Caldwell followed his older brother Simon, who won No. 1 singles in LPD4 in 2022.
After entering the Finals as the top seed at No. 1 singles, Oliver Caldwell won all four of his matches in straight sets, including over fifth-seeded Luke Zhang of Plymouth Christian Academy and the second-seeded Jackson. West Catholic placed sixth as a team at the Final. Caldwell finished this fall 33-1, his only loss to Jackson on Aug. 22 and all 33 wins coming in straight sets.
