Churchville-Chili’s boys varsity golf team set a new school record for lowest team score in a varsity match. The previous record was 193 set back in 2009. This year in a home match on May 3 against Spencerport, the team set a new school record of 188. Leading the team to this accomplishment was sophomore Jason Starkweather who shot an even par 36. Other members who contributed to the record-setting score were junior Tri Nguyen shooting a 37, senior Talan Finnigan shooting a 37, sophomore Nick Medlar shooting a 38, and eighth grader Grady Galliford shooting a 40. The team finished the regular season 14-5 and had three players who qualified for the county tournament of champions. Of the three qualifiers, two moved on to Sectionals and both qualified for the Super-Sectional event which was held at Irondequoit Country Club on May 20 for a shot at the NYS team.
Neither qualified, but both are eligible to return next year as they are underclassmen. The photo is from the record-setting match on May 3. Pictured are (l-r) Nick Medlar, Dan Meritt, Jason Starkweather, Tri Nguyen, Talan Finnigan, and Grady Galliford.
