Girls golf squad enjoys good start

By

HUNTLEY — It’s been a pretty strong start to the season for Huntley’s girls golf team.

Huntley senior Maddie Sloan made a strong finish to end well at the Huntley Invite at Pinecrest Golf Course Aug. 22.

Sloan concluded with a third-place score of 37 for nine holes. Sophomore Kinsey Hayes was next with a 42, for an 11th place finish. Freshman Miranda Hoeft had a 48 for the 23rd spot and senior Taryn Rainey turned in a 49 score for 26th. Freshman Keegan Smith finished with a 51 for 31st place.

“I was happy with the results,” Huntley coach Lindsey Allen said. “Sloan came on strong and had to birdie the last three holes, hitting an unbelievable shot for a birdie as she punched out of a shot near the trees at No. 9.”

Huntley finished in third place and Hampshire won the team championship. Jenna Albanese of Pairie Ridge took the individual medalist honors  with a 33 score. Crystal Lake Central co-op’s Delaney Medlyn edged Sloan by one shot for second place.

Allen, in her second year as varsity head coach, commented on the goals for the season.

“Overall goals for this season is to remain competitive in our conference. We had a lot of key players graduate last year. However, we have gained amazing new players as well. We are looking to improve everyone’s short games as that is where most strokes come from,” Allen said.

Junior Ava Lodewyck also looks to contribute to the varsity.
