Girls golf: Edgerton, Parkview battle the elements, advance to WIAA sectionals
JANESVILLE — It was a steady stream of rain for a majority of the day at Glen Erin Golf Course in Janesville on Thursday. Despite the precipitation, local golfers were able to sneak in nine holes of regional golf, as Edgerton, Beloit Turner and Parkview each were able to punch their ticket into the WIAA sectionals. The Crimson Tide, fresh off of winning the 2026 Rock Valley Conference title, battled the weather en route to a nine-hole team score of 170 to emerge as regional champions. Even more impressively, the Tiders did it with only four women in the lineup rather than the usual five. Caroline Johnson, who usually slots into Edgerton’s No. 5 spot in the lineup, was involved in a car accident on Tuesday, leading to the junior being scratched from playing on Thursday. “We’ve had a tough week this week,” Edgerton head coach Alex Schaar said. “It’s been an emotional week for us, but I think we’ve shifted gears now as a team. “It’s not so much about getting to state anymore as it is doing it for Caroline.” Down a player in their lineup and battling a heavy downpour on the course, Edgerton never broke stride
