Indian Creek, G-K trios advance to golf sectional

Indian Creek’s Virginia Filicetti (99), Kalia Foster (101) and Ellen Witte (112) advanced out of the Class A Byron Girls Golf Regional on Wednesday at Prairie View Golf Course.

“I’m extremely happy that we were able to qualify three girls,” said Indian Creek coach Keith Haag, whose team finished fifth with a 425. “We had two girls that had a chance to advance but missed out by one stroke. It was a good day for Timberwolves golf.”

Genoa-Kingston (424) edged Indian Creek for fourth place by one stroke in the team standings. Hinckley-Big Rock followed in at fifth with a 433.

H-BR senior Marni Warner was the regional’s runner-up with a 21-over-par 93, 11 shots behind individual champ Abbey Sullivan of Rockford Christian. Brittany Herrmann (102), a senior, will join her teammate in the sectional after finishing eighth overall.

The Cogs also will be sending three individuals to Monday’s sectional at the Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin – sophomore Andrea Strohmaier (97), junior Emily Wakeley (97) and sophomore Katie Thurlby (104).
