Top Athletic Memories: “Making it to states every year as a team and spending time with all of my teammates. I was able to create great relationships with everyone and we had so much fun. Another top memory was when I won the District 10 individual title.”
What She Will Miss Most About McDowell: “I will miss the supportive community McDowell has; specifically in athletics. So many people cheer for the student-athletes and support them. The Trojan Pride at McDowell is something that I will remember forever.”
Her Support System: I would like to make note of my family and friends for always rooting for me and hoping for the best for me. My parents Lucas and Nicole Marsh have shaped my life and athletic career by taking me to all of my practices, matches, and tournaments. They have provided me many opportunities to excel academically and athletically. My teammates have also never failed to make me feel better about myself. No matter how I played, they were always right by my side cheering me on. Lastly, I would like to make note of my coaches who have always pushed me to my fullest potential and gave me opportunities to improve on my golf game. Ryan Bickel, Ronald Swanson, Dan Steen, and Erik Barzeski have all been amazing coaches. I wouldn’t have made it this far without any of these people.”
