Garden City ? One week after winning a regional title, Bishop Seabury freshman Faith Hedges completed a historic season by capturing a Class 3-2-1A state title Monday at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course.

Battling through the wind, Hedges shot a 12-over-par 84, beating runner-ups Reagan Boone, of Eureka, and Karee Dinkel, of Thomas More Prep, by three strokes.

“There was a lot of tall native grass near the fairways and I worked extra on chipping and putting lately, so that helped, including a lucky chip-in birdie on 17,” Hedges said through a text message on her way back from Garden City.

Hedges is the first golfer in school history to win a state championship.

“I was a little excited and nervous on the first hole, but then things went better after that,” Hedges said.
