The meet caps off Clare’s wonderful four years as a Wildcat Golfer. Anya shot a 103 in 51st place and finished with three birdies in her round. Only the top two golfers finished with more! Reagan shot a 111 in 70th place in her first appearance in state competition. So proud of all the girls and the entire group of boys and girls golfers on a great season!
