Swinging Into Success

By Abigail Sweeney

The Riverdale Rams girls golf team had a successful 2026 season, finishing in 6th place at both the Conference Meet and Regional Tournament. This is their best finish in the past 8 years! The Rams showed growth throughout the season and finished 9-10.  Isla Baldwin was recognized for her efforts this season by being selected 2nd Team All-Conference.  

When I asked how they felt their season went, Isla Baldwin told me, "I'm so proud of how our season went this year! It’s been such an amazing experience to see how much everyone has improved and the growth of the program in general!” With dedicated practice and hard work throughout the fall, the team demonstrated remarkable progress and development overall.

Coach Hatch said, “This year was our third year of having a complete team. We showed tremendous improvement in all areas. Our team scores have improved; our individual scores have improved. In the Conference and Regional tournaments, we placed 6th, which was a major improvement over the last few years.” The coach added, “Our record of 9-10 is more wins than we have had in the previous two years combined. The girls did a great job this year!”

With improved scores, a successful record, and high morale, the Rams have plenty of momentum to carry into the 2027 season. We look forward to seeing what that season will bring!
