RIVERA LEADS BOARDMAN TO DISTRICTS
WARREN OH- It was a tough field in the Monday’s division 1 sectional golf meet at Old Avalon golf course. With teams of the caliber of Hathaway Brisn, Solon, Canfield, Aurora, and more, Boardman had a tough task ahead if they wanted to earn a spot in sectionals.
Led by junior Sophia Rivera Boardman just grabbed the 4th spot as a team to qualify for districts. The Spartans beat out Stow Monroe Falls by 1 stroke with a team score of 346. Rivera shot an 82, which tied Jocelyn Zhao of Canfield for 10th in the sectional. It would have been good enough to advance to districts as an individual if Boardman didn’t finish in the top 4. Zhao was able to advance to districts with her 82. Emily Choleva shot a 85 for Boardman to be next on their leaderboard, Zoe Fick-Mills was right behind her with an 86. Kate Pendleton added a score of 93 to Boardman, and rounding out their scoring was Haily Rusnak with a 110.
Boardman advances to the Division 1 District meet at Brookledge Country Club in Cuyahoga Falls on October 13th. Canfield finished 7th as a team, Austintown Fitch finished 12th, Howland finished 14th, and Hubbard finished 16th.
