Ten of the best high school girls’ golf teams in the state
will be playing in the 7th annual NJSIAA Girls’ Section 1
Championship tomorrow (Tuesday), hosted by the Stanton Ridge Golf and Country
Club in Readington Township. The top four teams will advance to the NJSIAA
Tournament of Champions scheduled Thursday, May 21 at the Cherry Valley Country
Club.
Four-time defending state champion Ridge High School heads
the field, with Bergen Tech, Hunterdon Central and Tenafly looking to qualify
as they did a year ago.
Other entries include Chatham, Mt. St. Dominic, Northern
Highlands, Northern Valley Old Tappan, Ridgewood and The Academy of Holy Angels
Top individuals entered in the sectional include defending
medalist Eunwon Park, a junior of Tenafly, freshman Yeji Shin of Northern Valley Old Tappan, freshman
Anina Ku, senior Monica Schumacher and sophomore Carolyn Wang of Ridge,
freshman Kelly Sim of The Academy of Holy Angels and sophomore Katie Lee of
Hunterdon Central.
There are two sectionals in the NJSIAA with a total of eight
teams moving on to the state event at Cherry Valley. Individuals qualified for
the states through registration as players need to have posted five scores at
7-over par or less.
The state championship team has come from the North sectional
since the inception of the 4-player system. Ridge has won the past four section
titles and state championships, while Hunterdon Central won sectional and team
state championship in both 2009 and 2010.
Montgomery’s Alice Chen, now a freshman on the Furman
University team, won last year’s Tournament of Champions with a 7-under par
round of 65 at the Cherry Valley Country Club.
