Please contact me if you think I would be a good fit for your golf program, I look forward to talking to you and how my academics and golf can be a part of your University! #futurecollegegolfer Thank you for keeping up with my profile!
**PREVIOUS(after Sophomore year) Progress made
I am determined to become a competitive college golfer at the highest level my academics and game will take me. My dreams take me to the Division I, DII , NAIA level and I am working hard to achieve this level by the end of my high school career as I know I have a lot of work to do. I had a good season in my first year as a freshman as I became the first freshman from Strasburg HS to qualify for the CO 3A State Tournament and ended up achieving Honorable Mention in the very competitive Patriot League. I qualified #2 on my team going into my freshman season, played #3 for my first 4 tournaments before being moved up and earning the #2 spot. My scores have steadily come down and I look forward to a big jump in improving my scores this coming spring into summer season. I improved my GHIN average almost 13 strokes from the spring of 2018 to the final round of the State tournament. I maintained a 4.0 average in my classes the first semester as I take my grades very seriously and have learned from my parents how important the meaning of Student Athlete is. In addition I play basketball and will run track this spring as I believe being an all around athlete will help my golf game even more as I get older and stronger. I continue to work on my swing going to lessons with Dustin Miller Golf and have the fortune of having access to the Trackman system. We constantly work on small improvements each week for preparation for the spring season. I can't wait to get better and see some results from my winter workouts! I appreciate my parents support in trying to reach my goals and the 2019 season will be a big one for me.

- I felt very confident going into the first round and didn't play as I wanted finishing with 78 and in 21st place. I played a little better the second day with a 3 hole birdie train going into the 18th hole which is a very tough finishing hole and it got me a little bit as I ended up tripling the hole and shot an 76 and ended in 13th place. I easily would have finished in the top 10 had I just parred 18 but unfortunately that didn't happen. I am very motivated to right this wrong and finish with the high goal of Winning in 2021. I am working hard everyday to improve my chances.
