The boys Varsity golf team posted a team score of 343 to finish 3rd in District Tournament on Monday, which secured a spot in next week’s Regional Tournament. The Vikings were led by Justin V & Daniel P, who both shot 84, and finished top 10 in district. Also notable for the Vikings were Senior golfers, Fraser K, who shot 87, and Ross B, who shot 88. The Vikings are hopeful to advance to the State Tournament by playing their best golf next week.
Despite a round that was not up to our normal standard, Coach Brotherton is very optimistic about the direction his team is going. “Our #1 golfer (Ross B) played with an injured thumb, and we didn’t play our best. That being said, Daniel P and Justin V really stepped up on the back 9. Today was about finding a way to advance. I’m excited about our chances at Regionals. If we play our best golf, advancing to the State Tournament is a real possibility.”

For the Lady Vikings, last year’s State qualifier, Mariana O, came in 5th place overall at the tournament, earning a medal and securing a spot at next week’s Regional Golf Tournament. Despite a shaky putter, Mariana’s solid ball-striking from tee to green was enough to have her advance. Coach Petito is very excited with the way Mariana has played all season long. “She has been in the top 5 at each tournament we have played. If she is putting well, she can compete with anyone in our district. She is a very talented golfer.”

Good luck to our golfers who advanced to next week’s Regional Golf Tournament and Go Vikings!!!
