Rain forced the cancellation of the second round of the Division II state girls golf tournament Tuesday.
That meant Annie Johnston has closed her Edgewood career.
In the first round Monday at Heatherwoode Golf Club in Springboro, which is near Dayton, Johnston fired an 82.
That score enabled her to place 18th overall. The finishes would have been a combination of both Monday’s and Tuesday’s round.
But just the opening round was used for the scoring.
“It was bittersweet,” Johnston, a senior, said. “I simply just wanted to play one more time as a Warrior, but it was cut short due to the rain.”
Johnston, who was making her first state appearance, said enjoyed going against some of the top high school girls golfers in Ohio.
“It was truly an amazing experience,” she said.
Johnston was also grateful for the people who supported her over the years.
“I just want to truly thank the Warrior golf community ... from the workers at Village Green to Steve Kray [Edgewood High School’s Athletic Administrator] for just making my time and these four years possible,” Johnston said. “I would like to thank [Edgewood] coach [Christina] Fischer for all the hours she has spent with me and how much she cares for me.
“This team and my coach have truly made an impact on me as a player and I can’t wait to see what the collegiate level holds for me. I will never forget — once a Warrior, always a Warrior.”
Johnston said she is communicating with two D-II colleges to pursue a degree in environmental science and play golf competitively.
Fischer said Johnston will be missed, and not just for her golf score.
“She is a great person who has integrity and love for the game of golf,” Fischer said. “Her accomplishments throughout her four years are nothing short of remarkable.”
Johnston advanced to the district tournament all four years of high school.
“She truly deserved to be there and represented our school and district well,” Fischer said. “To finish in the top-18 of Division II golfers in the state with just one round is amazing.”
Fischer said Johnston made an impact with the Warriors girls golf program immediately as a freshman.
“She has sacrificed a lot to put the time into her game to continue to get better,” Fischer said. “Her work ethic is unlike any athlete that I have coached.
“That character trait will no doubt follow her to college and throughout in life.”
Although Johnston is finished with her career at Edgewood, Fischer believes her impact will be felt for years.
“Her leadership and support to all the golfers was amazing during her four years,” Fischer said. “She definitely has left a mark on the program and our school.”
