At 17 players strong, the Humboldt High School Girls Golf team is gearing up for another great season.
Last year, the team scored a combined adjusted average of 231.50, coming in 4th at the NCC girls golf tournament at Lakeside and 11th in the Class 3A Region 1 tournament at Buena Vista Golf Course at Lake Creek.
This year, four letterwinners are returning to help lead the team. Salem Bonnstetter (sophomore), Jada VanDeWalle (junior), Sophia List (sophomore) and Livia Stewart
Head coach Jessica Harklau returns for her 20th season leading Humboldt, joined by Assistant Coach Jacob Short.
There are a lot of fresh faces this season as new girls start their first season. With only two returning seniors, Livia Stewart and Jada VanDeWalle.
“A lot of new girls out and our numbers are up a little bit.” Harklau said, “I had seven seniors last year, I think and only two juniors. I have a senior that came out for the first time (this year) Tessa Petersen and her sister Sadie is a freshman. Then Helena Lopez came out this year as a senior. So we are very young.”
