High school girls golf: Richfield leads Juan Diego by 5 strokes after Day 1 of 3A state tournament
Richfield has won four of the past six 3A girls golf state championships, but it took a backseat to Morgan last season.
The Wildcats are in good shape in their quest to return to the top of 3A, though, after a strong opening day of the 3A state tournament at Meadow Brook Golf Course on Wednesday.
Richfield shot a team score of 327 and leads Juan Diego by five shots after the Soaring Eagle shot a 332. Morgan is third with a 361.
Juan Diego is seeking its first state championship.
Juan Diego’s Grayson Gagon was the individual Day 1 leader after she shot a 78. Richfield’s Brielle Jolley sits in second after shooting an 80.
