Class 2A Waubonsie Valley Sectional: At Naperville, Plainfield North junior Kiley Sanborn fired a 2-over par 74 for a one-shot win at Springbrook Golf Course, the meet medalist leading the Tigers team to second place and the state tournament for the second consecutive year.

Sanborn, who started on the back nine, was 3-over at the turn. She came back with three birdies on the front nine.

“So, the first nine was really tough. I was struggling to make ends meet, but on the front nine I pulled through,” Sanborn said. “On the front I ended up getting a few good putts and a few birdies. I didn’t really change anything, just my mindset.”

Sanborn as a sophomore was part of the first Plainfield North team in school history to make state. On Monday the Tigers shot 342, behind only Benet (338). Metea Valley (345) was the third team advancing on a fifth-score tiebreaker over Oswego Co-Op (345), which had won the Southwest Prairie Conference the week before. Brooklynn Griffith shot an 86, Annie Halvorsen an 88 and Sophie Maletich a 94 for Plainfield North’s counting scores.

“That was my main goal of the season, was to get the team to state,” Sanborn said. “I wanted to make my team proud.”

It was Sanborn’s third time playing at Naperville’s Springbrook Golf Course. Last year, she won an IJGA tournament there. She was in the clubhouse trailing, but leader Alli Wiertel of Oswego Co-Op bogeyed the last two holes.

“At first I was like I don’t know if we can do this, but then checking the leaderboard, I thought as long as I play my game I will be fine,” Sanborn said. “Just had to stay calm, as soon as you get worked up your mind will just crash. Take a deep breath. Golf is searching for that feeling. I finally found it.“

Plainfield East sophomore Taylor Miller advanced to state as an individual with a 77 to tie for sixth.

Class 2A Lockport Sectional: At Lockport, the host Porters finished just a shot out of the top spot but qualified for state as a team. Angelica Kwak led the way with a 73. Natalie Mickelson, Rheagan Boucher, Alyssa Nenoff, Adelynn Oostema, and Addyson Hill will represent the Porters at state. Freshman Sarah Scott shot a 75 to earn a spot at state for Lemont.

Class 1A Pontiac Sectional: At Pontiac, junior Piper Stenzel of Seneca placed second with an 81 to qualify for state. Isabella Dinelli of Dwight tied for sixth with an 85 to earn a spot at the state meet.
