The Cardinal Newman Girl's Golf team finished another great season under new Head Coach
Demian Reddy. A strong showing in the Division 1 NCS
Lillie Dayton tees of
Championship was a great way to cap another dominant season. Competing at the Div 1 level for the first time in school history, juniors Gabby Sinatra (73) and
Lillie Dayton (81) led an overall team effort, finishing with a total of 477 which placed 14th out of the 21 participating teams. Cardinal Newman was the smallest school competing (by enrollment) with nearly 700 less students than the next smallest school.
Competing locally in the NBL Oak Division, Cardinal Newman finished a perfect 8-0, winning by an average margin of 49 shots. As a result,
Lillie Dayton (40.5 average) and Gabby Sinatra (40.43) were named co-league MVP's and Tori Leighton (43.5) was named to the First Team All League. The excitement, positivity and enthusiasm for golf shown by ALL members of the team from day one was a reward in itself and speaks to the high character of these girls and the CN family.
The future looks bright and this year's 16 player roster is reflective of the overall growth in Golf. Coupled with the loss of only 3 seniors and a solid incoming freshman class, 2022 will have high expectations for CN. A huge thank you to The Fountaingrove Club and Santa Rosa Golf & Country Club for allowing us to use your facilities throughout the season, junior golf at all levels can not succeed without the support of local courses. And finally, the deepest thank you to our 3 seniors who will be dearly missed, Izzy Wright,
Jocelyn Thomas and Tori Leighton, your contributions are irreplaceable.
