Broncos rising to the top

Share

Two of the top high school girls golfers in San Diego play at Rancho Bernardo High and both shined recently in separate events.

Junior Calista Reyes, who finished second in the state last year, was the only high school student to finish in the top five of the Women’s Southern California Amateur Championships on August 9, and sophomore Stephanie Heimler captured the second annual Mickey Wright Invitational title on Aug. 11.

Reyes finished the three-round tournament at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club with a 3-over-par, 219. That was three shots off the third-place finish and nine shots off of the first-place finisher, Lilia Vu. Reyes played 36 holes the first day, shooting a 144. She carded a 75 over the final 18 holes on Day 2.

Heimler continued her fast rise in the girls golfing world, shooting a 1-under-par, 71 en route to the tournament championship at San Diego Country Club. The invitational is named in honor of Mickey Wright, who grew up playing golf at La Jolla Country Club. Many consider her to be the greatest female golfer of all-time.

Both Heimler and Reyes will be part of a strong girls golf team at Rancho Bernardo in the fall. The Broncos reached the SoCal Regional last season.
