The South O’Brien Girls Golf Team traveled to Le Mars for a War Eagle Conference dual against Gehlen Catholic on May 3. The Wolverines lost the dual 210-226 on the red course. “Although it was a pretty nice night, the wind definitely played a factor,” said South O’Brien coach Kris Faust. “We have had several home meets this season, so it was good to face an unfamiliar course to see what we could do. Sophomore Whitney Einck had a great night, earning runner-up medalist honors with a 49.”
Senior Breana Bottjen shot a 56, which put her in a three-way tie with two Gehlen golfers. After a check of handicap holes, she ended in sixth place. Senior Kaeley Einck ended the night with a 59, and sophomore Samantha Wilbur carded a 62.
Team scores: Hinton 210, South O’Brien 226.
Medalists: 1st, Jayden Barthole (Gehlen), 48; 2nd, Kaeley Einck, (SOS), 49; 3rd, Lynsey Reuter (Gehlen), 50; 4th, Virginia Freking (Gehlen), 56 (won tiebreaker).
South O’Brien varsity scores: Whitney Einck 49, Breana Bottjen 56, Kaeley Einck 59, Samantha Wilbur 62.
