Over the course of five days, Wayne High and Laurel-Concord-Coleridge girls golfers will get to see more of each other with the first of three competitions held on Sept. 25 at the Wayne Country Club.
Among the 15 teams and 74 golfers, the Blue Devils girls golf team hosted the Richard Metteer Invite.
Wayne High finished fourth with a 405 as LCC took seventh (438).
Head Blue Devils girls golf coach Josh Johnson said, "the Wayne Country Club proved to be a formable challenge with the course in great shape and the greens running fast and true. The field of golfers battled hard throughout the day and scoring proved to be tough."
Hallie Heithold led the way for Wayne with a new personal best 88 taking third as Carli Canham ended in sixth with a score of 93.
Other Blue Devil scorers for Wayne were Rylynn Owen (104), Claire Reinke (120) and Avery Gubbels (152).
In JV action, Gracyn Johnson led the way with a 132 followed by Damaris Reyes with a 156.
Coach Johnson added, "I was very happy with how the girls played well. Each meet someone steps up and shoots a new PR. The girls have each other's back and it is really cool watching them support each other. I am super excited for the next two weeks leading up to Districts (hosted by Wayne on Tuesday, Oct. 7)."
Harper Bruning earned a 13th place medal for the Bears with a 99.
