GARDNERVILLE, Nev. — Christine Schwartz carded a career-best 82 to take medalist honors and lead the Incline girls golf team to victory in a triangular with Sierra Lutheran and Yerington last Friday at Carson Valley Golf Course.

The Highlanders finished with 389 strokes to bag the win. Sierra Lutheran took second at 418, followed by Yerington in third at 445.

“I was impressed with the play of Christine Schwartz, this was the lowest score in her high school career,” said Incline golf coach Joe Humansti. “The team played well, however, Sierra Lutheran and Yerington are also playing well. In a golf match there are no favorites and anything can happen.”
