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.
