Story by Coach Bob Long
     The Chillicothe Hornets Golf Team (5-0) traveled to Richmond Wednesday and played at Shirkey Golf Course in the Richmond Invitational golf tournament. Pembroke Hill took home top team honors with a score of 353 and Hannah Johnson of Warrensburg received Medalist honors with a round of 80. The Hornets placed ninth in the thirteen team field. Morgan Dowell recorded the low score for Chillicothe with a 105, 31st in the tough 65 player field. Hannah Leamer shot a 106, followed by Grace Venner's 107. Lauren Mason's 115 gave the Hornet's a total of 433. Kaylee Thieme
completed the varsity squad with a 122.
     The Hornets battled the weather, the tough course and their stiffest competition of the year. With all five returning varsity players from the 2013 season, Chillicothe improved from 12th to 9th and was able to cut 19 strokes off of last years tournament results. The team continues to improve and expects to be even better. The Hornets next competition is in the Pirate (Platte County) Invitational, slated for Wednesday, but postponed to Thursday, September 11, due to weather.
