New Trier Wins Team, Individual Girls Golf Titles

WINNETKA, IL — The New Trier Girls Golf are state champions for the first time in five years after setting a new state record while coming out on top at the 2017 IHSA State Championship at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur earlier this month. The Trevs were led by the individual state champion, junior Penelope Tir of Winnetka. She improved on last year's fourth-place to win the state crown by a single stroke.

Tir, along with teammates Megan Gabor, Abbie Kaestle, Lizzie Kenter, Rachel Rhee and Audrey Tir shot a total of 603 during the Oct. 13-14 tournament, which was a new IHSA records.

Behind the Trevians in the Class 2A division, Barrington High School finished 10 strokes behind in second place, while Hinsdale Central rounded out the top three.
