PREP GOLF ROUNDUP: Everett wins 4th straight district title
Published 11:49 pm Tuesday, May 18, 2010
BELLINGHAM — Stefani Soelling and Jody Barhanovich finished 1-2 to lead Everett to its fourth straight 3A District 1 girls golf championship during the first day of the tournament Tuesday at Lake Padden Golf Course.
The individual championship and 11 state qualifiers will be decided during today’s second round.
“We’ve been lucky enough to have some girls with golf experience,” Everett coach Jane Johnson said, explaining the team’s success.
In addition to Soelling, who shot an 88 to take a one-shot lead, and Barhanovich, three Everett golfers — Hannah Vanucie (tie ninth, 102), Molly Burton (tie 17th, 108) and Maricris Taja (19th, 109) — made the cut to 20 golfers for today’s final round.
Johnson said it’s really important to qualify as many as possible for state if you want a shot at the team title there.
“Two could do it, if they both made the cut (at state),” Johnson said. “But there are so many strong teams. Last were we sent four, two made the cut and we finished sixth. If that third player had made the cut we would have been second, so it’s huge.”
