The Adrian Dragon girls and boys golf teams were honored at their 2017 awards banquet on Tuesday, June 6th with the season award winners being announced at this time. Although both teams struggled with the factor of youth and inexperience, all golfers are to be commended for their hard work, efforts, and dedication thoughout the 2017 season.
A total of 23 golfers were involved in the golf program this season, including a group of 9 girls and boys from the 6th grade class. Members of the 2017 Adrian golf teams were: 6th Grade – Taya Elias, Mia Hieronimus, Lauren Madison, Madeline Wagner, Brock Henning, Breyer Hieronimus, Ethan Langseth, Landyn Loosbrock, and Logan Nogosek; 7th Grade – Josi Altman and Josh Barr; 8th Grade – Gracia Elias, Jacob Lenz, and Landon Runia; 9th Grade – Annika Elias, Easton Braun, Alex Freimuth, and Blake Madison; 10th Grade – John Christians; 11th Grade – Alexia Kemper, Brady Henning, Mitchell Veld, and Cole Weidert.
With no seniors on the 2017 team and a large number of newcomers to the team, the prospects for the 2018 season are good. By gaining a year of experience, our younger golfers can look forward to more success next season as long as they put in valuable time on the golf course over the summer.
