Within two weeks of each other, two school records for the same sport were broken. Junior Clarissa Long broke the original record for girls’ golf with her score of 43 against State College on August 28. 14 days later, Sophomore Gabrielle Filer broke the newest record with her score of 40 against Philipsburg.
“I have been playing golf since I was nine,” Filer said. “I didn’t even know I broke the record until afterwards, but it was an amazing feeling. I was so proud of myself.”
This may seem as if it would raise tension between the two girls, but they bond over it instead.
“We’re actually really good friends,” Long said. “At first I was a little upset because I had just gotten the record and worked really hard for it, but it’s fine because records are made to be broken. I was really happy and proud of her overall.”
