Kevin,
Is Shepaug HS considered part of our area? One would have to consider Mia Landegren in the Class of 2011 athletes. Mia is a sophomore at Shepaug HS. She is presently in Bandon Dunes, OR to participate in the Championship round of U.S.Women’s Amateur Public Links play. This after being the Medalist in the qualifier that was played here in CT. She won 9 out of 12 high school meets this past season, playing for the boy’s team at Shepaug HS. In the CT Women’s Open, she finished in 11th place overall and 3rd best Amateur. She finished 4th in the Boy’s State Championship, shooting a 75 to the winner’s 72. Mia shows great promise in the golfing world.
