There was time for one more big tournament featuring Hamilton County girls golf teams last Saturday.
Noblesville hosted the annual Courtney Cox Cole Invitational at Harbour Trees, and five other county teams were among the nine schools that participated. The tournament honors the memory of Cole, an all-time great Noblesville athlete and community leader who was a state champion for the Millers in golf and basketball.
This year’s team winner was Carmel, the defending state champion. The Greyhounds played an outstanding round to finish with a score of 300. All five Carmel players went under 80 for the event.
Michaela Headlee was the meet medalist, with a two-under par 69.
“I think I played really solid,” said Headlee. “I hit a lot of greens and got a lot of two-putts from that. And when I did make mistakes, I came back from them.”
Claire Swathwood tied for second individually with a 76, followed by a 77 from Sophie Mock, 78 from Maddie Headlee and 79 from Kamryn Williams. Greyhounds coach Kelly Kluesner said it was a “great day for us.”
“And this course is challenging, so we feel really good with our score today,” said Kluesner.
