As a sophomore Wichita Southeast’s Alina Lam tied for seventh place at the 6A state tournament.
Lam finished with a scoring average of 76 last season and earned second team all-state honors. This season she hopes to improve even more.
“I am wanting to improve on everything this year because I believe that nothing is perfect in golf and you always have something to improve on,” Lam said. “I have been practicing almost every day for 2-4 hours working on my swing mechanics at the range and the short game areas.”
Lam is excited to be an upperclassman this year and getting to play another year alongside her teammates.
“We have grown an incredible friendship, and I believe we can do great things this season,” Lam said. “I try to encourage the girls on my team to work hard and push through any challenges they face because I believe that they have the potential to be great.”
During the offseason Lam spent a lot of her time in the gym and on the green.
“Playing in many tournaments over the summer and practicing almost every day,” Lam said. “My goal this season is just to play the best that I can and get a better scoring average than I did freshman and sophomore season.”
