Valentine Invite called with just two to three holes left on the day! Thunder, lightening and hard rain set in when the meet was about to wrap up. Unfortunately, the tournament was called because the weather wasn’t letting up!
Results were based off of the first 9 holes. Valentine took 2nd place with a score of a 206. Tierney Miller and Rylee Wackler were medalist. Rylee placed 5th with a 49 and Tierney 3rd with a 47.
Joni Cox, Kassie Hanson, Ali Weller
and Leah Osnes completed the Varsity team.
Representing Valentine JV today was Brooklyn Coyle, Leti Alvarez, Ara’Vani Johnson, Emi Ward, Kelsey Birch and Jade Gunion.
Brooklyn brought home the 1st place medal for our JV!
Valentine was making gains on the back nine, so hated to call it. Proud of these girls! Go Badgers.
Thank you to all of those who volunteered today and parents who helped bring kids in when the weather went south! Special shout out to Megan and Jacob for making things at the course run smoothly!
Valentine Quad on Thursday! Come cheer on the girls!
