Poolesville senior Olivia Cong was attempting to win her third straight individual title in the Maryland state championships held at the University of Maryland Golf Course on Oct. 25. After the first round, Cong was tied with Megan Kirkpatrick from Glenelg.
Then Cong fired a blistering second round 65 to win by 5 strokes and make it three 2A/1A state titles in a row.
Each week throughout the school year, the Montgomery County Sports Hall of Fame is partnering with Montgomery Community Media to honor an Athlete of the Week from the county’s more than 40 public and private high schools.
Poolesville, trying to win their third straight team state title, came in second (658) to South Carroll (633).
