This invite also marked the final meet for the Junior Varsity squad’s season—they finished with a combined score of 526 strokes.

To top off the Patriot scores, Sofia Hake shot 152, and Mia Glissman-Mayner shot 175.
Senior Sydney Messerlie stated, “Friday, in my opinion, was the best I ever shot personally. I loved seeing how much our team has grown over this season, and I’m glad that this is the team I got to golf with. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“I was super proud of how well we performed on Friday and how far we’ve come all season!” said Coach Held. “We had three Patriots place in the top ten and took home first place as a team.”
The varsity team will finish out the regular season with a meet at Oakland before moving on to compete at districts at Quail Run Golf Course.
