Head Wayne High girls golf coach Josh Johnson said, “I am extremely happy how well these girls are playing right now. We have had a great two weeks. Each girl is getting more and more consistent and scores are showing it. It was so cool seeing personal bests today by Hallie and Rylynn, those two have come a long way this year and the sky’s the limit for them. I was also thrilled to see Lindsay get her first medal of her young career. It’ll be nice to take a few days to focus on us after the crazy two weeks we’ve had.”
