(Listed in alphabetical order)
Stillwater | Sr.
Wrapped up her final varsity season with a 71.75 scoring average, and that translated to nothing but top four finishes. The lowest Darr finished in a tournament was fourth, and she was also second at tournaments hosted by Edmond North, Jenks, Ponca City (pre-regionals) and the 6A state tournament. Darr finished atop the leaderboard at the COAC Conference tournament, the Mustang tournament and the 6A regional tournament.
Tahlequah Sequoyah | Jr.
The transfer from Ada collected plenty of medalist honors. Factor won tournaments hosted by Keys, Miami, Henryetta, Tahlequah and Kansas. She also finished sixth at the Jenks tournament. In postseason play, Factor was third at the regional qualifier tournament, and she followed with a ninth-place showing in regional play. To close out a season where she had a 73.2 stroke per tournament average, Factor finished the 3A state tournament in second place.
Holland Hall | So.
A year after coming up just short of a state title as a freshman, Kalapura wasn’t going to let another one get away. Kalapura capped her sophomore campaign with a state championship, to go along with four other first-place finishes. In a season where Kalapura did not finish outside of a tournament’s top three, she won tournaments hosted by East Central, Dewey and Sperry, and she also won a 3A regional qualifier. She added in a third-place finish in regional play, and she was second at the Pinnacle Conference tournament. She also was a finalist last year.
Jenks | Jr.
Lefler competed in 11 tournaments during her junior season, and she spent the majority of the year finishing inside the top 10 in all but one tournament. In fact, Lefler was only outside the top three of a tournament twice. She won tournament championships at events hosted by Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Union and Putnam City North, and she also was the top medalist at the Frontier Valley Conference tournament. In postseason play, Lefler was eighth in regional action in Ponca City, and she capped her season in third at the 6A state tournament. She also was a finalist last year.
