PdC Girls Golfers win SWAL-SWC Title
By Derick Kelly
The Prairie du Chien Girls Golf team traveled to the Lancaster Country Club last Wednesday, September 25, looking to make some noise heading into the postseason and by placing first out of five teams at the SWAL-SWC Conference Tournament with a team score of 374, it’s safe to say they did just that.
The first place finish cemented a conference championship for the Hawks, the program’s sixth overall and first since 2004. Prairie was led by senior Irelynd Cejka who finished one shot behind Southwestern/Cuba City/Benton’s Brooklyn Bussan for medalist honors with a score of 85. Following Cejka was Hannah Fritsche in fourth place with a 93, Elisia Wynos in seventh place with a 96, Camryn Knapp in ninth with a 100 and Tessa Czajkowski Higgins in 14th place with a 103.
Cejka and Wynos (first team) and Fritsche and Knapp (second team) earned all-conference honors with their SWAL-SWC performances during the season.
Prairie du Chien hosts a nine-team Division 2 regional today at the Prairie du Chien Country Club with the Hawks looking to qualify for the sectional meet as a team for the first time since 2013. Top three teams at today’s meet qualify for next week’s Division 2 sectional meet at The Oaks Golf Course in Cottage Grove.
