Quigley Improves on Previous State Finishes

Republic’s Allison Quigley finished tied for 36th in a field of 90 golfers, at the rain-shortened Class Two State Golf Championship in Sedalia.

After bad weather forced the cancellation of the tournament’s first day, golfers had only one round to make their mark Tuesday. Quigley shot a 91 in difficult weather conditions to finish in the top half of the field.

Lindsey Eisenreich of Rockwood Summit blew away the rest of the field, shooting a 1-over-par 72. That was eight strokes ahead of the second-place finisher, Sun Young Jung of Springfield Glendale.

This was Quigley’s third trip to the state tournament. She had previously finished 78th as a freshman and 37th as a sophomore, so this year’s performance improves on her previous finishes.
