Golf Team Wins State Championship
On May 27th, Archmere earned its second straight DIAA Golf State Championship in a one-round contest. Held at St. Anne's Golf Links in Middletown, the second day of competition was canceled due to torrential rain. Following the DIAA manual, the tournament was declared official after 18 holes, and Archmere the winner of a second consecutive team championship, on the strength of their outstanding first day golf performances. Sophomore Hannah Webb earned the girls individual crown with a 1-over-par 71.
This year’s DIAA State Championship field featured 15 schools with four-to-six golfers entered, making each of those eligible for the team championship. On day one in the Girls’ Individual Championship (par 70, 5,410 yards), Hannah Webb ’27 jumped out in front with a round of 71. She mixed three birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey to get to her magic number.
Danielle Higbee ’25 (73) and Meredith Finger ’26 (74) finished right behind her. Henry Nowak ’26 added a 77 to give Archmere a team score of 295, 12 strokes ahead of runner-up Salesianum (307).
“It’s a little bittersweet,” Head Coach Matt Krass said to the News Journal. “We didn’t get a chance to celebrate as a team, walking off the 18th green. … But we had prepared for a situation like this. I had told them last week this could happen.”
Congratulations to Coach Matt Krass, Assistant Coach Matt Chominski, and the entire golf team on this tremendous achievement!
