Gazette Preps announced its All-Area Peak Performer girls’ golf team, naming 10 student-athletes from local schools (including Manitou Springs, Air Academy, Pine Creek, Palmer Ridge, Falcon, Rampart, and Doherty) recognized for their strong season performance.

The Switchbacks held 60% possession on Saturday yet failed to score as a 66th minute goal from Jack Gurr gave the visitors a 1-0 win, leaving coach Alan McCann frustrated.

The team will travel to FC Tulsa next week.

Manitou Springs junior Addison Dorsey won her first state girls’ golf title at Lone Tree Golf Club & Hotel in rainy May conditions, finishing with a 5-over par 149.
