A dominant day on the course turned into hardware and celebrations for the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk girls golf team at the River Valley Conference Championships Wednesday at Muscatine Municipal Golf Course.<\/p>\n
Mid-Prairie claimed the River Valley team title with their round of 375, beating the field by a monstrous 22 strokes, with Camanche a distance second at 397. Olivia Swartzendruber won the individual RVC title with her round of 82. She\u2019s the first girls player in Mid-Prairie history to win conference. Other Golden Hawk scores included Morgyn Bender 90, Noelle Nelson 101, Macie Ihrig 102, Delani Blum 104 and Paiton Chittick 121. After the awards ceremony the happy group of Hawks joined KCII Sports to talk about their win.<\/p>\n
The Golden Hawks said, \u201cWe met with all our teammates and we looked at the scores on the windows. We added up everyone\u2019s scores and we shot pretty well. We knew our number was going to be hard to beat. Winning it is hard to do once, but I\u2019m so glad we\u2019ve been able to do it this many times. It\u2019s just crazy honestly. (Head coach Tracy McArtor) knew we had it in us this whole. He\u2019s been so great. He keeps pushing us. It felt really good to win, for him because he knew we could do it. These championships makes us feel good about the direction this program is going in. Tracy has worked for years on this program and we\u2019re glad it\u2019s paying off. Knowing they have had success at conference and going to state all those years and we\u2019re continuing on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swartzendruber, Bender, Nelson, Ihrig and Blum were named All-River Valley Conference with Swartzendruber and Bender First-Team selections. Along with Swartzendruber\u2019s piece of history, it\u2019s the first time in program history the Golden Hawks have won three league championships in a four-year-stretch, finishing first in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
The title moves Mid-Prairie\u2019s record to 37-5 on the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dominant day on the course turned into hardware and celebrations for the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk girls golf…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-223156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
