Weekly improvement on the links paid off for Southern Wayne during a multi-team, non-conference girls’ golf match contested at Southern Wayne Country Club Monday afternoon.
Saints sophomore Regan Stribble emerged as the medalist with a 49. She and her teammates posted a meet-winning, 160-166 triumph over Hunt.
Stribble chipped in for a birdie on No. 6.
Goldsboro’s Țara Burnham ended up second in individual play. Hunt teammates Cassidy Kyles and Morgan Radford placed third and fourth, respectively. The Saints’ Laura Summerlin ended up fifth.
Catie Schallert, Emily Webster and Chloe Sullivan competed for the Saints on a challenging, tree-lined course.
“The girls have been making good strides throughout the year,” SW head coach Trae McKee said. “I feel like we left about eight to 10 shots out there … I’m glad that the girls are enjoying the game of golf. It’s a game for a lifetime and this team is a really close-knit group.
“We are excited to continue playing and trying to get a little better every time we step on the course.”
“The girls have been making good strides throughout the year, I feel like we left about 8-10 shots out there if we clean up our speed on the greens”
Charles B. Aycock (173) captured third as a team. Goldsboro shot a 177, followed by Hobbton (181) and Wayne Christian (184).
Southern Wayne returns to action today at Lane Tree for a Quad County 3A Conference match. Tee time is 2 p.m.
“Lane Tree is going to be a good test for us,” McKee said. “It has a few holes that have some elevation changes, so hopefully they are looking forward to it.”
