Fairfield girls? golf earns road victory

The Fairfield girls? golf team won at Davis County 229-246 Tuesday.

There was a four way tie for the individual first place medal. Abby Adam and Madelyn Swan of Fairfield tied Skylar Yahnke and Blair Bodkins of Davis County when all four players shot a 56.

Fairfield?s No. 1 golfer, Lindsey Repp, finished barely behind her teammates with a 58.

?Lindsey didn?t have her best night and that is going to happen once in awhile,? Fairfield coach Joe Kruzich said. ?But it was nice to see a couple of other girls, in Abby and Madelyn, pick up some of the slack.?

Olivia Hammel shot a 59, Kylee Marlay got a 69 and Taylor Marlay shot a 74 to round out the Trojan starting lineup.

?We have a long way to go, but we are continuing to get better,? Kruzich said. ?We?ll get back on the course, clean some things up and be ready for our next challenge.?

Fairfield will hit the road Thursday and play at the Mid-Prairie Invite.
