Lapeer East's Keely Turczyn qualifies for State golf finals with an 87 at Regionals

Lapeer East High School junior Keely Turczyn qualified for a trip to the State golf finals at Michigan State University’s Forest Akers Golf Course this weekend with a score of 87 and a 4th place overall finish at the Regional Tournament last weekend.

Among girls who didn’t qualify for the State finals on a team, she was second. It is the second year Keely has qualified for the State tournament. In 2008, Keely qualified with an 87 score and a 6th place overall at the Regional tournament.

The top three teams from each region and the top three individuals, not on a qualifying team, advance to the State tournament. She shot an 87 at Regionals which was 4th over all and 2nd among girls who didn't qualify on a team.

“I am proud of Keely and our entire team for the work they put in this year,” said coach Steve Stearns. “We wish Keely well at the State tournament.”

In addition to Turczyn, team members are Teresa Freeman, Emily Hilgendorf, Kelsy Robinson, Kelsey Sinclair and Brittany Ventline. The team finished 7th at the Regional Tournament.
