Practice makes perfect for Utica's Clark

High winds Tuesday wreaked havoc across the area, but that didn’t stop Taylor Clark from putting in some time on the driving range.

The Utica sophomore golfer hit a bucket of balls yesterday at an optional practice, with all of her drives going into a heavy headwind.

Clark’s hard work paid off Wednesday when she navigated blustery conditions – though not nearly as windy as Tuesday – on Romeo Golf Course’s South Course to earn medalist honors with a 37 in Utica’s victory over Port Huron Northern.

The triumph was another strong performance for Utica, which has improved to 3-1 in the MAC Red Division.

PHN finished fifth at last year’s Division 2 state finals.
