One veteran returns to golf team

Alexis Wainwright is the only returning varsity player on the Sisters High School girls golf team this year.

The team lost six seniors to graduation last spring so competition will be wide open for the open varsity positions.

Sixteen girls are out for golf this year. According to Coach Mary Flande, that’s the most that have ever turned out for the girls golf program. Several golfers have had experience at the junior varsity level, including Carolyn Bird, Maureen Broadbent, Meghan Crowder, Mac Gould, Jessica Little and Claire Mutchler.

Broadbent is the lone senior on the Lady Outlaws team this year. Flande said Broadbent has a very good work ethic and has always been a good leader.

Wainwright (sophomore), was in the top 10 at the district tournament last season and is expected to do well again this year.

“I’m excited about this year,” said Flande. “We may be inexperienced but we have a super group of girls.”
