SYDNEY COLWILL, IRONWOOD RIDGE
What she did: The four-year player finished off her career by helping the Nighthawks place third at the girls Division I state championship for the second time in the last four seasons. Colwill shot an even-par 72 in the first round and a 1-over 73 a day later to finish sixth individually.
Top performance: Fittingly, Colwill turned in one of her best performances at the Nighthawks Invitational hosted by I-Ridge. She shot a 1-under 145 to finish second by seven strokes behind Phoenix Xavier’s Madison Kerley, who went on to win the Division state title.
What’s next: Colwill, accepted a scholarship and signed to play for the University of Memphis last month. Not bad for someone who didn’t start golfing competitively until she started high school.
