Girl’s Golf Wins Sections

McClatchy Women’s Golf Team brought home the title of Division 2 Sectional Champions. After playing 18 holes at Teal Bend Golf Club, McClatchy placed first with a team result of 472, beating Rocklin with a score of 496, and Kennedy with a score of 505. Senior, Katie Low had one of the best individual scores of 76, followed by Senior, Marisa Kwong with a score of 80.

The team started playing at 9 a.m. and did not finish until 3 p.m. due to the large amount of girls present at the tournament. The weather proved to be mild throughout the day. In the morning, the course was foggy and cold, and the green was wet with morning dew. However, as the day progressed, the sun broke out. After playing for an entire day, the team discovered that all of their scores were up, and that they had won Sectionals. All of the girls received their sections champion patches.
“It was a great experience,” said Jeannie Lam (‘16), “It was challenging both mentally and physically since we all pushed ourselves so hard, but I felt like I could have done better, there’s always room for improvement.”

This season, the team faced many other tough opponents, but was undefeated by the end. Kennedy proved to be one of the toughest teams this season, although they were still no match for McClatchy.

“This season was awesome,” said Sophomore, Tori Cano, “I’m so proud of our team and it feels so amazing to have made it to sectionals. It was awesome to have helped the team to be able to win and move on to masters, it’s a great accomplishment.”
The team moves on to Masters, where they will face tougher opponents. However, through practicing nearly every day of the week, the team will be ready for the upcoming tournament.
