When you've waited all summer to get your school sport started, what's another couple of hours.

Rochester girls golf waited with 16 other teams through a two-hour weather delay before topping the leaderboard with a team score of 339 to capture the Kankakee Valley Invitational at Sandy Pines.

The Zebras placed three golfers in the top ten. Olivia Bailey, a state finalist a season ago, led the Zebras with a 77 to place first overall. Fellow 2023 state finalist Ava Thomas finished sixth overall as she carded an 82. Teammate Molly Moore shot an 84 to finish eighth overall in her first high school match.
