Newark Golf Team Ties Schools Record!

On October 2, the Newark High School Golf team played Seneca and Lisle at Whitetail in a tri-meet. The Norsemen tied the school record of the best varsity team score with a 168! That’s almost 20 strokes below their team average! The golf team also played in a 2-man scramble on October 3, against Oswego at Blackberry Oaks. They ended up winning the 2-man scramble by 1 stroke. On October 8th the Norsemen went on to participate in Putnam County’s Regional. The varsity team got 7th place out of 12 teams, with Jack Clausel coming in with a soaring 87 that will take him to sectionals! The following varsity players playing in regionals were Karter Kunkel coming in with an 89 just 1 stroke short of going to Sectionals, Zach Ward coming in with a 100 and, Will Clausel with a 101. At the sectional, Jack Clausel shot a 100, and sadly did not qualify, but Jack is only the 3rd Newark High School student to ever go to sectionals for golf. Congrats to the Newark golf team for a major improvement from last year and good luck next year!
