Pierce Girls’ Golf Drives into Season
by Tanner Kuper
Pierce’s girls’ golf team and coach Melinda Stelling traveled to O’Neill for their first meet of the golf season on Thursday, August 16.
The girls’ golf team did not receive a team score, as teams must have four varsity members to place as a team, and Pierce’s team has three varsity members: Sydney Erickson, Samantha Svendsen, and Rebecca Albrecht, along with JV member Madisyn Hamm.
Individually, Sydney Erickson got 5th with a 104. Samantha Svendsen got 10th with a 110. Rebecca Albrecht placed 13th with a 115. Madisyn Hamm placed 4th in JV with a 136. According to Coach Stelling, “There is not ‘one’ thing we need to work on as a team, but individually, the girls need to work on their weakest points. If it goes like other years, I will see the girls continue to improve and see their scores go down.”
The next girls’ golf meet will be Friday, August 24, at Wayne.
