Our team shot the lowest round of the 2012 season tonight. Our goal is to have “four in the forties”. Varsity met that goal. The weather conditions and course conditions were excellent.

Natalie Ketchen had a season low and earned medalist honors for the first time. She also had low putts with 14, another season best. Liz Moen shot a season best in competition with a fine 48.

Next up is a dual at Williamsburg Friday. The WAMAC West Divisional meet will be held Monday at the Amana Golf Course hosted by Clear Creek-Amana. This meet will be played at 3:00.
