Senior Zoe Wynn hits the golf ball with a swift drive swing. Wynn’s dedication to perfecting various swing techniques throughout her golf career allowed her to experience many wins. “I've seen Zoe at her highs, as when she won league as a freshman,” girls’ golf coach and history teacher Wind Ralston said. “I've seen her at her lows as well, when she maybe hasn't had the best round. But I would say she was my first golfer who came to me with a lot of skill initially which I was not used to. It's been great to see her grow and evolve as a player. Zoe is always fun, even when she may not have the best round, she still is having fun and her personality is contagious and makes other girls just want to have fun.”
