Golfers head to regionals

Golfers head to regionals

Senior Eric Valenzuela placed first as an individual in the district golf tournament April 7-8, advancing him to regionals where he will compete in Fort Worth at Waterchase Golf Club.

“Last year at district was a real disappointment,” Valenzuela said. “I didn’t want a repeat of that, so winning this year was a huge accomplishment for me and it’s a great landmark for this young golf program.”

The Lady Raider golf team placed second as a team at the district tournament and will go to regionals as well. They will play at Tierre Verde Golf Club in Arlington. Team members are: Lindsay Bain, Merlynne Penequito, Grace Brackenridge, Tori Richeson and Taylor Clay.

“Our expectations were to shoot better than the year before,” Bain said. “We will improve our short game and play smart.”

This is Bain’s last year to play Raider golf.

“It’s a great accomplishment getting to go to regionals again. We are excited that our hard work has paid off,” Bain said.

Valenzuela is the first golfer in the men’s program to make it past the district level.

“Most importantly I just want to make my school proud and keep spreading Wylie East success,” Valenzuela said.

Clay has played golf for the Raider program for three years.

“It makes me happy that we get the opportunity to travel to regionals and compete with some of the best teams in the region,” Clay said.
