Claire shot a 90, finishing regulation in a fourth place tie with A-C Valley’s Ellie Thompson. The top four finishers in the District Meet move on to Regionals, so a sudden death playoff was necessary. Claire won the playoff to advance to the Regional Meet, which will be held at Tom’s Run Golf Course at Chestnut Ridge Golf Club in Blairsville, on Monday, October 19th.

Also advancing to Regionals will be Keystone’s Amber Hess, who won the District Nine Championship, with a 79 and Brookville’s Elainia Powell and Punxsutawney’s Morgan Vanleer who tied for second place, with each firing an 84.

Claire will join Bobcat Jared Bish at Regionals. Bish finished second in the District Nine Boys Meet.
