SPORTS: Sequim girls and boys golf teams blast Klahowya; other prep reports

SEQUIM — Zoei Zbaraschuk is unstoppable.

Sequim’s senior girls golf team ace took medalist honors in league competition for the 18th consecutive time with 33 Stableford points Thursday in the rain at Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course.

She sparked the Wolves to a 92-62 Olympic League victory over Klahowya.

Those 18 straight matches date back to her freshman year.

“That’s unbelievable,” Sequim coach Garrett Smithson said.

Zbaraschuk helped lead the Wolves to a 2-0 season record.

Sequim took the top three places with Kim Duce earning second with 26 points and Hailey Estes taking third with 20.

Teammate Ashley Morton scored 13 points, good for sixth place.

“The girls did very well in the wet conditions,” Smithson said. “The total score we had was very good considering our No. 4 golfer could not attend due to a school project.”

Becca Heyser and Sally Fletcher led Klahowya with 19 points each.

The Wolves, who are on spring break next week, next hosts North Kitsap in an Olympic League meet April 8 at Dungeness.
