For this week’s Student Spotlight we have decided to focus on our girls’ fall sports. For golf we have chosen to interview player Raegan Petersen.

• What has been your favorite part about being on the Washburn Rural golf team?

  • “I have really enjoyed just being with the team. Car rides to tournaments, practices, and team dinners are definitely highlights.”

• Who do you think will be your team’s biggest obstacle this year?

  • “I think living up to last year is going to be hard.”

• How would you describe the whole team’s motivation for 2022 season? 

  • “I think for the returners it comes down to how last year ended. Losing on the last day of state when you were ahead after the first day was really hard.”

• Looking back on your past golf seasons, what has been one of your favorite memories from school golf?

  • “It is hard to pick just one, but I think my favorite would be eating dinner after day 1 of state. It was a mixture of being excited after winning day 1, and being with the team having fun.”

• Do you have any further plans for your career in golf?

  • “I hope to play in college, but nothing is for sure yet.”
