“They call me the Lone Wolf.”
One leg down, two to go.
Austin and Christine Fields sailed through their first postseason challenge Thursday, carding strong scores at the 1A Northwest District golf tournament in Bellingham.
Austin, a Coupeville High School senior, shot a 78 to finish in a tie for fourth, while Christine, a sophomore, chipped away for an 86, which left her just four strokes off the lead.
Blaine’s Ryan Wallen and the duo of Meridian’s Abbi Rautenberg and South Whidbey’s Jenna Kiak took home medalist honors.
Both Wolf golfers easily advanced to the Tri-District tourney, which runs May 13-14.
There, golfers from five leagues — Cascade, Northwest, Emerald City, Olympic and Nisqually — will vie for spots at the state meet. 33 boys and 17 girls will make the cut for state, which will be in Lake Spanaway May 21-22.
Christine was 8th at state as a freshman, while Austin has back-to-back top 35 finishes.
