The Colleyville Heritage High School girls golf team and Grapevine High School junior Chloe Sirkin, will compete in the UIL 5A golf state championship, after top finishes at the Region I tournament held April 17-19 in Lubbock.
The Lady Panthers secured their spot after finishing in third place. This is the second time in school history that the Lady Panthers have qualified for the state championship. Their last appearance was in 2017.
CHHS Head Golf Coach Ryan Parker said, “Throughout the course of the season, we would talk constantly about the potential to do something that hasn't been done in a long time and that fueled the ladies. They began working longer and harder at practice and even coming up and asking for us to tailor workouts more specific to needs they saw as a group.”
Sirkin, who is the defending UIL 5A golf individual state champion, tied for second place as an individual. Sirkin scored a 72 in the opening round and a 79 in the final round at the regional tournament. This will be Sirkin’s third state tournament appearance. The only other player in GHS golf's history to win an individual state title was Hollie Frizzell, who won in 1983 and 1984.
The UIL 5A golf state tournament will be held at the Legacy Hills Golf Club in Georgetown May 6-7.
Let's congratulate our GCISD golfers on qualifying for state and wish them luck!
