The Corner Canyon High School girls golf team finished second at the 6A state tournament that was held at Riverbend Golf Course in Riverton May 8-9. The Chargers—who were third after the first day—were led by junior Alyssa Meadows who placed sixth overall with rounds of 78 and 76. Lone Peak shot a team total of 612 to win the tournament by 57 strokes.

“The girls were down by 12 strokes after the first day to Weber,” said head coach Lexi Gagon. “They battled back the second day and ended up taking second by two strokes. We knew Lone Peak had it in the bag so we were competing for second. It honestly felt like we had won the whole thing.”

Senior Victoria Romney shot an 85 and 79 to finish 12th while senior Laney Ross (tied for 18th), freshman Ashlyn Cline (tied for 29th), sophomore Rylee Reinbold (tied for 35th) and freshman Mylie Matthews (51st) rounded out the placements for Corner Canyon.

“It was a fantastic end to a crazy season,” Gagon said. “I’ve been so impressed with the girls and how they’ve handed the crazy weather we had this spring. This is an amazing group of girls—one of my favorites ever.”

Also on the CCHS squad this season, who improved on a fourth-place finish a year ago, were: senior Laila Rowe; juniors Aubrey Hobson and Avery Wettstein; sophomore Becca Rogness; and freshmen Kelley Dunn, Lily Fullmer, Meredith Laitinen, Charli Short, Sophie Tripp and Allie Wahlquist. λ
