7th ranked Barton women's golf wins conference opener for fifth tournament victory of the season #GoBarton

The 7th ranked Barton Community College women's golf team won their fifth tournament of the 2022-23 slate by scoring a thirty stroke win Thursday capturing the KJCCC's first meet of the year.

Shortened to just an eighteen hole conference opener due to Friday's weather conditions at Dodge City's Mariah Hills Golf Course, the Cougars shot a combined 29-over 313 to outdistance host Dodge City's 343, Fort Scott's 427, and Coffeyville's 442.

The teams reunite in Coffeyville for the second conference meet of the season in the projected two-day tournament beginning at 1:00 p.m. March 31 at Hillcrest Golf Course.

Barton placed their top five golfers in the top ten of the 23-competitor field, led by the 4-over 75 rounds of Pornnapa Inmee and Saya Schweitzer for each's first tournament title of the year.

Valentina Leyva tied for 4th place with an 8-over 79 as Andrea Peraza's 13-over 84 was good for 7th place.

Having won three tournaments in the fall, Yu Wei Chiang had an off day to begin the spring semester in carding a 16-over 87 for 10th place, just the third round in the 80's in the freshman's campaign.

Paulina Villavicencio led the individualist entries with an 18-over 89 for 13th place, followed one spot later in the standings by Katina Bartel's 22-over 93 and Allyson Kaiser in 16th with a 23-over 94.
