The KCHS Girls and Boys Golf Teams had very successful seasons this year. Although the boys team had their sights on a second consecutive trip to the state golf tournament, they finished second in the region tournament and missed their goal by one shot. The team finished the regular season with a very impressive 20-3 record, and a district tournament team championship. Standout golfers for the Irish were Nick Willenburg, Mike Markeiwics, Parker Proctor, Jack Gillespie, Zach Zondlo, and David Schutt. Individually, Mike Markeiwics qualified for the state tournament and captured a 12th place finish, and Jack Gillespie claimed a district tournament individual gold medal.
The girl’s team, despite only having three golfers on the roster, also had a successful 2007 campaign. The team finished with a winning record, and showed great improvement as the season progressed. For the second consecutive year, Katie Letsinger led the team with consistent low scores week in and week out and was rewarded for her hard work with a second trip to the state tournament, where she finished in 20th place. Katie also helped mentor two outstanding young freshman golfers, in Alec Cunningham and Alex Lowe. The two made tremendous strides during the course of the season. The future looks bright for our KCHS Girl’s Golf Team, with Katie, Alec, and Alex all returning next year.
