The Garden City girls' golf team won the county team championship, held May 19 at the Bethpage Park Yellow course. Garden City had six girls qualify for the tournament and all six earned All-County honors. No other team had more than three All-County golfers.
The team championship was very exciting as Garden City edged out Syosset with an eight-stroke victory, 270 - 278. The depth of the team was evident during the regular season as 12 players (six play in a match) contributed to an 11 - 1 conference championship.
The team was led by junior Megan Werner, second in county; eighth-grader Claire Rothschild, seventh; junior Ali Hartung, ninth; junior Tracy Long, 12th; junior Jackie Critelli, 13th; and sophomore Kendall Jesser, 14th.
The first-ever Long Island championship was at Bethpage Blue on Thursday, June 5 versus Sayville High. The team would like to extend a special thanks to the golf professionals at Garden City Country club, Don Beatty, head professional, and his assistants, Joe and John, for their time, encouragement and professionalism.
