As the golf team hits off the new season, captains and returning players are excited to work off of their success last year. The captains, Will Blattner, Luc Birchfield, Ellie Lamb, and Megan Aust, are excited to have another strong season. The girls have a lot to live up to considering their undefeated season last year. Aust ’16 is excited to lead the girls this year and says “we may not be undefeated this year but we should still be strong competitors in our division.”
Aust ’16 had the highest score from the girls at the first match. Unfortunately, they lost the first match by just eight points to Eastside Catholic. Aust ’16, Lamb ’16, and Rachel Dickinson ’16 have been the most influential girls thus far in the season, performing well at matches. The girls are three matches in with a 2-1 record. They beat Holy Names and Garfield. The boys lost their first match by a crushing one point and won the other by a landslide. Returning players, Matt Zech ’17, Blattner ’16, Luc Birchfield ’16, and Michael Lambert ’17 have performed to their full potential. Zech ’17 says, “I am excited for this year and next year as well. We have proved to be a strong team and I would like to keep this up.”
