CIF State High School Girls Championship
November 18, 2020, Victoria Club
The California Interscholastic Federation is divided into 10 sections, and each provides contestants in the events based on district student population. The State Championship is a one-day event run by the NCGA and SCGA, with teams and individual students competing in 18 holes of stroke play. The top nine individuals and top three teams of each region (Northern and Southern) advance to the State Championship, which rotates each year between Northern and Southern sites.
Canales of Calabasas Takes 2019 Title
On a chilly, windy day at demanding Poppy Hills Golf Course, junior Caroline Canales of Calabasas proved best. She won the CIF state girls’ golf championship by firing a one-under 70 for a one-stroke victory over Sherilyn Villanueva of Troy.
Coach Lance Novak said Canales was magnificent with her approach shots, hitting 15 of the 18 greens.
“She gave herself a lot of looks at birdies,” he said.
Canales won the Marmonte League individual title and used her poise and consistency to be best in the state.
Palo Alto won the team title with Troy finishing second and Diamond Bar third.
