FREDONIA — With four golfers in the top 30, Yates Center High’s team took home sixth place at the Fredonia Invitational Thursday.
The golfers overcame nagging injuries along the way.
Marlan Buchanan, who has had a sore back, shot a 58 to take 17th place.
Becky Wendland, who injured her ankle earlier this week, shot a 59 to tie for 19th.
Wendland was granted permission to use a golf cart because of the injury.
MaKayla Jones and Braeden Burright shot 60 and 67 for 21st and 30th, respectively. Both were career lows.
“I was glad we were able to compete in the team competition,” Wildcat golf coach Kevin Barnes said.
“I just wish Becky and Marlana were 100 percent,” he continued. “Both stuck it out to the finish. MaKayla and Braeden had excellent days.”
