INDEPENDENCE — Solon’s varsity golf girls won their first WaMaC East championship in at least a decade Monday, May 1 at a windy Three Elms Golf Course in Independence.
“The windy conditions made it very tough to score but we had four golfers in the 40s on our way to the title,” said Coach Curtis Hendrickson.
The Lady Spartans finished the day with 183 for the win followed by West Delaware (189), Independence (213), and Marion (230).
