The Bainbridge High School girls varsity golf team claimed the 2016 Metro League title this week, beating out duffers from Lakeside, Seattle Preparatory, Holy Names Academy and Garfield for the championship.

The Spartans were way out in front when the dust settled, staking a confident claim to the top spot with a collective score of 49.

Lakeside trailed in second place with 41.5, Seattle Prep sat at third (37), Garfield in fourth place (26.5) and Holy Names at the back of the pack (24).

Individual awards and recognition were also heaped upon the Spartan roster.

BHS Head Coach Ian Havill was named the league’s Girls Coach of the Year, and three Spartans made the ranks of the Girls Second Team All-League: co-captain Kiera Havill, sophomore star Lucy Hanacek and freshman phenom Kendall Havill.

All of the island team’s players, in fact, finished in the top 25 at the league tournament.

Hanacek led the squad in fifth place overall with a total score 86. Kendall Havill was part of a three-way tie for sixth place, finishing the tourney with a score of 88.

The elder Havill sister, Kiera, was nipping at her heels, though. She finished tied for 11th place with fellow Spartan superstar and co-captain Taylor Tye, who both shot 91.

Sara Colley was part of a three-way tie for 18th place (95), and Nicole Daniels shot 98, tying with a Lakeside golfer for the 23rd spot in the standings.
