By Skyler Stern
The girls golf team took fifth place with a combined score of 460 in the West Holt golf meet on September 4.
“Overall as a team, they have gotten better at striking the ball since the beginning of the year,” head coach Jason Freudenburg says. “Overall, the girls are playing better and competing.”
Individually, Rylee Altwine medaled, finishing in second place with a score of 92. Addison Frye shot a 117. Camassia White ended up with a 122. Brooke Podany shot a 129, and coming in close behind her with a 133 was Brailey Jensen.
“Going forward into next week, I'm really going to focus on putting. Putting is an essential part of finishing holes with a low score,” Frye states.
The next meet for the Jays is at home and will be the Pierce Invite on September 13.
