THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH GREG HUTTON
"WOW! This was an amazing effort by all five girls this week. I've been preaching to them over the last three weeks that nothing was going to be given to them. All five girls had at least two scores count to the teams totals each round which is what we needed. Was really hoping to see Breann get the individual title, but a top 5 at regionals is amazing. Madison and Caroline both stepped up with ninth and 13th place finishes. I've got to give it up to Regan and Makenna as well. Both of them posted two rounds that we counted in the team score that were big for us. This was a total team effort! They persevered over the six weeks of the season and a trip to nationals is well deserved. So proud of this team. "
