There’s much excitement around the state this time of year as prep sports are winding down and individuals are celebrated for athletic achievement in many endeavors. For Colorado’s girls golfers, the state competitions have as much to do with the courses they are playing (and the weather) as the swings they put in and the putts they line up, so there’s always a chance that someone unexpected comes out of the woodwork and contends for a state championship.
