BLAIR, Neb. — Haley Thieledidn’t repeat history Tuesday asa girl winning a boys golf districtchampionship, but the next-bestthing was seeing the title go toWahoo Neumann teammate JohnKenney.
“I couldn’t be happier for him,”Thiele said. “He’s been waitingfor it all year. Finally he put it alltogether today.”
With Thiele taking fourth withan 80 and her freshman sister,Hannah, finishing sixth with an 82,the Cavaliers won the team titleby 20 strokes at River Wilds GolfClub and will be the first boysteam to take more than one girl tothe state tournament.
Jameson Hittle, in eighth, wasthe fourth golfer in the top 10 forthe Cavs. Joseph Furasek is theirfifth golfer.
Neumann does not field a girlsgolf team, which makes the Thie-les eligible to play on the boysteam. Girls play from the sametees as the boys in high schooltournaments.
Kenney shot a career-best 77, 5over par, including a 1-over 37 onthe front nine. It was the junior’ssecond top-10 finish in districtsin three years. He finished onestroke ahead of Dana Van Ostrandof Lincoln Christian.
Kenney said he’s gotten betterbecause of the Thieles.
“It’s pretty humbling, gettingbeat by girls every day,” he said.
Neumann coach Pat Sullivansaid Hannah Thiele and Kenney“have made a big difference”for the Cavs. The team’s districtscore was 49 strokes better thanlast year, when it missed qualify-ing for state by one stroke.
“Hannah has surprised me abit. She’s shooting lower than Ithought she would,” Sullivan said.“There’s not been much of a learn-ing curve for her.”
Lincoln Christian and Milfordalso advanced to the Class C statetournament May 28 and 29 at Ma-honey Golf Course in Lincoln.
“I think if we shoot as well aswe can, everybody be a coupleshots better, we can put ourselvesin great position at state,” HaleyThiele said. “Our goal is to win thestate championship.”
