The Waukon girls golf team will return to the team competition level for its 2023 season, as its squad numbers grew four-fold from last spring. The 2022 Waukon girls golf season featured just one player last year, that being first-year varsity player Alyssa Connelly. This season, she will be joined by three of her classmates in fellow sophomores Faith Cooper, Halea Corwin and Eva Whalen.

Connelly may come into this season as the lone returnee from last spring - and thus, the lone returning letterwinner, but that’s certainly not all. She also brings back that experience at a high level as an All-Conference performer last spring.

The Lady Indians were scheduled to open their 2023 season with a home meet against Decorah and South Winneshiek Tuesday, April 4. They will then play back-to-back nights on the road, at Crestwood Monday, April 10 and at Luana against MFL/MarMac, Oelwein and Postville Tuesday, April 11.

Not pictured: Ishq Patel and Noah Hager.

The Waukon boys golf team will return a trio of varsity letterwinners from last season’s squad that played to a 3-15 dual meet record last spring. Those three will lead a team that Coach Tharin Benson says surprises him with the number of kids reporting for early-season duty, as 23 young men are playing golf this season.

That veteran trifecta includes senior Cody Huinker and the junior pair of Dylan Hogan and Cashton Lloyd. “I’ll look for them to be at top of the leaderboards, and help others make proper in-round decisions,” Coach Benson said of his experienced returnees.
