Mustangs Triumph with Team Score of 297, Led by Stellar Performances from Seniors and Underclassmen
The Meridian Varsity Golf Team has made history, capturing their first-ever VHSL Class 3 State Championship at the Heritage Oaks Golf Course in Harrisonburg, VA. The Mustangs posted a remarkable team score of 297, outpacing second-place Western Albemarle by five strokes to secure the title.
Seniors Noah Peng, Henry Brown, and Alex Way led the charge. Noah and Alex earned 3rd and 4th place individual honors, shooting impressive rounds of 70 and 72, respectively.
The team’s resilience shone through in harsh conditions, with temperatures in the mid-40s and rain throughout the morning. As the weather improved, so did the Mustangs’ performance. Junior Atticus Kim, Sophomore Drew Fishel, and Freshman Charles Griffith delivered clutch performances on the back nine to lock in the victory.
This momentous win highlights the team’s talent and marks a new chapter for Meridian Golf as they bring home their first state championship. Congratulations to the Mustangs on this historic achievement!
