Solon Lady Comets Golf Team Qualifies for the State Tournament!
For the first time since 2004 and for only the second time in school history, the Solon Lady Comets golf team qualified for the State Tournament yesterday! The team fired an outstanding team score of 328 which placed them fifth at the Northeast District Tournament held at The Legends of Massillon course. The top 5 teams at districts qualify for states.
Going off in the second wave of teams, the girls battled through chilly temperatures, treacherous greens, and challenging opponents all day long. As the final scores began to trickle in, it started to become clear that Solon had a chance to steal that final spot. Once that final score was added to the scoreboard and the team scores were tallied, the celebration began!
The state qualifying team was led by tournament runner-up Jennifer Wang, who shot a fantastic 1-over par 73 on the day. Grace Gao fired an equally impressive 76, Annie Liu chipped in with an 86, Catherine Wang and Sandy Deng rounded out the scoring with a 93 and 95, respectively.
The State Tournament covers two days and is held on Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22 on the Gray Course at The Ohio State University. Tee times for Friday have yet to be determined and Saturday's tee times are dependent on the results from Friday. If you are interested in heading to Columbus to watch all or a portion of the event, please refer to the OHSAA website at www.ohsaa.org for current details. We would LOVE to have you in attendance to cheer on the girls!!
