Mills has plenty of sports like football, soccer, basketball and track, but a sport that people might not know is golf. The Mills girls’ golf team is ending the season with a great record of 9-1 which advances them to PALs ( Peninsula Athletic League) and CCS (Central Coast Section).

In a recent game against Aragon, the team broke 200, meaning that the total score added from the whole game was under 200 points. The team got a score of 197, which is pretty good in golf terms. The team was ecstatic after they accomplished this. 

Mills girls’ golf player Samantha Liew (11) said, “When we broke 200 by playing 197, it was really memorable because we had always joked about breaking 200, but never really experienced it.”

When it comes to practices it’s what you might think. “A typical school practice is held at Poplar Creek. We putt first, then we hit balls on the range.”

The girls golf team had amazing performances from players, such as freshman Irene Hur (9), who was featured in the San Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. 

When asked how she felt, Hur expressed, “I was really surprised because I didn’t know there was a thing like that and I was only a freshman. I didn’t think I would get that much recognition. Either way I was really grateful.”

The team’s supportive atmosphere and teamwork really pushed the team to thrive and be successful throughout the season.
