Congratulations to Charlotte Catholic High School on bringing home the win at the 2nd HV3 Girls’ High School Invitational contested at Gaston Country Club in Gastonia, N.C. It was a fun and exciting day of competition today as 16 high school teams battled it out to the very end. It was a shotgun start at 1:30pm, and as players went out to their starting holes, the sun started to peek through the clouds. Many teams found their way to the top of the leaderboard throughout the round, making for an eventful 18 holes of golf that came down to the last few holes. 

 

Elizabeth Guthrie, Laney Bauersfeld, Maya Claffey, and Kameron Kohutek represented the Charlotte Catholic High School team today. 

 

Guthrie, Bauersfeld, and Claffey carded rounds of even-par, 3-over, and 4-over respectively to put their team at the top of the leaderboard at 7-over, 223 total. The team’s 10 birdies combined helped them to separate themselves from the pack to first place.

 

Northwest Guilford High School and Pinecrest High School tied for second place at 8-over, 224 total.

 

Congratulations to the co-medalists today, Elizabeth Rudisill of Charlotte, N.C. and Gracie Song of Waxhaw, N.C. Rudisill and Song each carded a 68, 4-under to earn the co-medalist title. Rudisill carded six birdies throughout her round, and Song recorded three birdies and even two eagles on holes 13 and 18, both par 5’s.

About HV3 Foundation

The HV3 Foundation launched in January 2019 to give back to less fortunate kids that could greatly benefit from increased access and opportunity in sport. Unfortunately, equipment, proper coaching, and access have become very expensive and unaffordable to many.

 

The mission of the HV3 Foundation is to bring awareness to the rising cost of entry and access to sports. In addition, the foundation will provide financial assistance for equipment, after school programs, instruction, camps, and various other avenues where an athlete can cultivate their passion.
