It was a record setting day for the Lady Wildcat Golf team at the Lapel Regional tournament today! They shot a school 18-hole team record of 335 which earned them 5th place out of 18 teams. This is the lowest finish in a Regional for any Wildcat golf team. Seniors, Dana Branstetter and Kendyl Brack, both shot 78, which was low for the team and also earned them a 12th place finish in a field of 110 players. They also missed advancing as an individual to the state tournament by 1 stroke. Fishers won the team corwn.
The top 3 teams and 5 individuals outside of advancing teams move on to the state tournament next weekend. The team came up short this year but still performed at a very high level. FC placed 5th and Greensburg finished 16th.
2017 Girls Golf Regionals @ Lapel
“My team picked a great day to shoot their best score of the season! I had three players shoot their personal best, Kendyl Brack 78, Maggie Brack 86, and Gracie Graf 98. All my players broke 100 which is also a first of the season. We may have come up short on advancing but we played against some power houses and it’s very possible that the state champ will come out of this Regional. The girls proved they belonged in this type of atmosphere. It was a very bitter sweet day knowing we broke the school record but at the same time it was the last time Dana and Kendyl will tee up as a Wildcat. They both have made Franklin County High School proud with their dedication and talents on and off the golf course. They will both move on to do great things but will definitely missed.” Wildcats Coach Marisa Mears.
Dana Branstetter – 78; Kendyl Brack – 78 (personal best); Abby Orschell – 93; Maggie Brack – 86 (personal best); Gracie Graf – 98 (personal best).
