The York girls golf team finished sixth at the recent Class 2A Glenbard East Regional at Glendale Lakes Golf Club in Lombard. The Dukes shot 395 as a team.
However, York advanced four players out of the regional who competed this past Monday in the Class 2A Schaumburg Sectional at Schaumburg Golf Club.
Senior Christine Millins shot a 91 to advance. Katie Wegmann, a junior added a 99. Senior Jenny Diamond shot 102 and senior Tarryn Becker shot 103 to make the sectional cut.

Timothy Christian’s Jonny Strube shot a 91 at the Class 1A Seneca Regional at Nettle Creek in Morris and advanced to sectional competition earlier this week.
Brian Schiff added a 97, while Joey Davidson shot 98. Graham Loughead finished with a 100 for the Trojans, who did not advance as a team.
“Jonny struggled on the front nine with a 50, but did a great job of regrouping himself and played a solid back nine in 41 to make the cut on the number,” said Timothy coach Jeff VanderNaald. “We were blessed with great weather, but despite our best efforts we didn’t advance as a team to sectionals.”
The Trojans finished the season with a 5-1 record in Metro Suburban Conference Red Division play.

Through late last week the Timothy Christian girls tennis team was 8-5 overall in duals and 4-0 in Metro Suburban Conference Red Division play.
The Trojans dropped a recent 4-1 match to Fenwick and had wins over Elmwood Park (5-0) and Willowbrook (3-2).
Danielle Beard and Maddie Monat recorded a key win over Fenwick’s No. 1 doubles team. “That solidifies their potential for a top seed in our sectional,” said Timothy coach Keith Mills. “Their only loss this year as partners was a pro-set loss to York’s top team.”
Monat and Beard were 7-1 together, while Abygale Ahn also had a 7-1 record in singles play.
“Danielle Beard is playing well right now and becoming more aggressive at the net,” said Mills. “Abygale continues to play well and her only loss was a long battle against Haley Fokouri of Fenwick. They will likely face each other again at the sectional. It’s a very competitive Class A sectional.”

In the win against Walther Christian, Zen Tverdokhlib had three goals, while Francisco Monteon had one goal.
“After a losing streak, our team has rebounded and has played better soccer,” said IC Catholic Prep coach Javier Andrade.
