Girl’s Golf Season Ends at Luck Regional
The Cumberland Girl’s Golf Season came to an end last Wednesday at the WIAA Luck Regional, when they finished fifth in the eight-team field. The top three teams advanced to Sectional play, led by Regional Champion Spooner, who took the Regional Crown by 53 strokes over runner-up Hayward. Northwestern was the final team to qualify for the Spooner Sectional by finishing third.
Spooner’s Avery Voeltz was the day’s Medalist with an excellent score of 77. Cumberland best scores came from Juniors Bella Neitzel and Makenzie Tahtinen, who both shot 105, good for 16th and 17th place. They missed qualifying for Individual Sectionals by four strokes.
Seniors Brook Colburn and Keyra Spychalla added 109’s, with Spychalla shooting her personal best score on her last day of high school golf. “Our two seniors were great teammates and will be missed,” added Coach Jess Olson. Nautica Ruppel was the team’s final competitor at the meet.
Olson added, “Unfortunately, there are only two divisions in WIAA golf, which hurts teams like Grantsburg, Unity and ours, who would benefit from another division. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable fall as I watched our girls improve and finish fifth in the HON.”
