Benicia High’s girls golf team finished in fifth place out of 19 teams at Wednesday’s 18-hole Sierra High Invitational played at the Manteca Park Golf Course.

SOFIA YOUNG smiles with the medal she won for taking second place as an individual at Wednesday’s Sierra High Tournament.

Benicia freshman Sofia Young finished second as an individual with a round of 82. Teammate Jennifer Eleccion birdied a hole and finished with a 96. Rachel Mahrt shot a 98, Nicole Ramirez came in with a 119 and Catherine Mahrt rounded out Benicia’s scorecard with a 124.

“The course was wet for the morning and played long with slow greens,” noted Benicia golf coach Mike Prolo. “However, it is a good learning situation for us as we need to recognize conditions will be different from when and where we practice.”

Union High of Tracy won the team tournament with a 465 and was one of only two schools to break 500.
