Leading the way for the Lady Apaches was Kiley Allen, whose two-day score of 181 strokes placed her fourth overall. Top three golfers were Faith Kilgore of Wimberley, Jackie Hennetle of La Vernia and Lana Joseph of La Vernia. Since those three golfers are a part of teams that are advancing to regionals, Allen was named first individual medalists, advancing her to the regional meet.
