The Emery High girls’ golf team played a region match last week at Mt View Golf Course in West Jordan and shot their best round of the season as a team.
Their team total was 140 after shooting a 126 last week at Palisades. Emery is proving that they are the team to beat for the 2-A team title at this same Mt View Golf Course in just three short weeks.
They are striving to improve on their second place finish last season.
Following Emery was the Grand High girls with a 113 score. Manti shot a 53 followed by Gunnison with a 42 score and San Juan with a 39 score.

Sydnee Guymon once again led the team in scoring as she shot a 42 over nine holes. Lainee Jensen was second with a 36 score followed by Taijah Price with a 33 score. Sarah Swasey had the final score that counted as she shot a 29. The Spartans other two golfers were Sydney Timothy and Erin Oliverson. Timothy also shot a 29 and Oliverson shot a 22.
