Flu bug doesn’t slow Tipp golfers
With the flu making its way through several Miami County schools including Tippecanoe High School, Red Devils girls golf coach Mike Moore worried about having enough players to field a team for the Division I sectional tournament on Thursday, Oct. 8.
Tipp — playing with four girls battling or just over the flu — recovered enough to tie Centerville for first after both shot 352 at Pipestone Golf Course. Centerville won with the fifth-place tiebreaker.
Tipp junior Laura Murray, who was sick earlier in the week, captured medalist honors with her 74. Freshman Kristy Kagy shot 83 for fifth and senior Megan Swan shot 87 — she averages in the 70s — to tie for seventh. Junior Taylor Cook (108) and senior Danae King (113) rounded out the card.
“They didn’t play as well compared to their season averages, but they played well enough to get to the next round,” Moore said. “I’m really proud of them. They really stepped it up.”
The district tournament is at Weatherwax Golf Course in Middletown on Wednesday.
