Her coach, Jaime Flores had the following to say about our team's captain, "She's an amazing kid!! She's a four year letterman and has been the most consistent female athlete I've ever coached!! She's also the captain of the girls team. Great work ethic and golf is a family sport. The whole family(except for mom) plays. Perfect role model for the young kids coming up."
