Tigers set record on way to regional finals
The Red Oak girls golf team delivered a standout performance in the Class 2A Region 1A tournament, posting a new team personal best score of 359 to earn their well-deserved spot in the regional finals.
The Tigers will be joined by Shenandoah (374) and Treynor (381) in the next round.
Individually, the Tigers were led by senior Brynn Knaus, who claimed medalist honors with a sensational new personal best round of 77, earning an individual qualifying spot. Senior Addey Lydon also secured an individual qualifying spot with a strong round of 92.
Rounding out the impressive team effort were junior Emily Sebeniecher (95), senior Riley Burke shooting a personal best (95), junior Ellison Johnson (101), and junior Nellie Blaine (103).
The Lady Tigers will now set their sights on the state tournament as they compete in the regional finals Wednesday at Willow Vale Golf Club in Mapleton.
Knaus runner-up, Tigers third at H-10 golf meet
The Red Oak girls finished tied for third place at the challenging Hawkeye 10 Conference Golf Tournament at the Carroll National Golf Club Monday in Carroll.
Council Bluffs Lewis Central was the team champion with a score of 364. Kuemper Catholic was one stroke back to finish second. The Tigers posted a team score of 372.
“While today’s result wasn’t the desired outcome, it doesn’t overshadow the team’s remarkable 43-3 regular season record,” said Red Oak coach Patty Henke.
Leading the way for the Tigers was senior Brynn Knaus with a runner up finish for the second consecutive year. Knaus shot an 82, seven strokes back of champion Chloe Perfect of Lewis Central, to secure first team all-conference recognition.
Red Oak’s Addey Lydon also earned first team all-conference with a consistent round of 88, placing sixth.
Other scores for the Tigers included Emily Sebeniecher (98), Ellison Johnson (101), Nellie Blaine (105), and Paisley Gettler (116) in her first 18-hole competition.
