on the seventh and eighth holes and finished strong with birdies at the 16th
and 18th holes to post a 4-over 74 and finish a shot behind Stone in

Some of the Inter-Ac League’s top girls were prominent in
both girls divisions at Landis Creek.
Baldwin freshman Megan Adelman had the best score of the day
among the girls as she made birdies at the 10th, 14th and
15th holes on her way to an 82 that gave her the top spot in the
13-to-15 division. Adelman finished seventh in the Inter-Ac League Championship
at the French Creek Golf Club to round out her eighth-grade season in May.

Episcopal Academy’s second straight Inter-Ac championship team in the spring,
had seven pars on her way to an 88 that gave her runnerup honors.
