Graduating Senior Athlete: Golfer Sarah Wi

Sarah Wi has left her mark on the Fort Lee golf program.

Sarah Wi was the low scorer for the Lady Bridgemen golf team in every match played this season, which is quite the feat.

Wi made a great impact on the golf program at Fort Lee High School this season, which was the school's first full season for girls golf. It was overwhelming at times, but it certainly did not affect her play on the course.

“As a student and golfer at Fort Lee High School, my school year went really fast,"  Wi said. "Since I was a captain of this year, it was harder than I thought, because sometimes I was anxious and really felt burdened. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing golf, and it was good to meet friends from other towns.”

Wi had incredible abilities on the golf course and it showed in her low scores. She will be missed next season, but the Wi name will still be prevalent at Fort Lee High School.

“Rachel Wi, who is my little sister, is going to be a freshman next year," said Wi. "I chose her as my legacy because I think she's better than I am and good with my coach.”

Wi has had some unforgettable moments, but one moment in particular that sticks out is when she chipped in for a birdie during one match.

The team went 14-7, and Wi was a big part of the team’s success during an unpredictable season in which no one, including head coach Bob Ciccone, really knew what to expect.

 Wi would sometimes get nervous, but she never let her nerves get the best of her.

“Sometimes, I didn't feel comfortable about playing golf because I was so worried about the tournament or match, but other than that, I really had fun with my coach, and he taught me a lot,” Wi said.

With high school ending soon for Wi, the goal is now college, but she is yet not sure where she will be attending.

When Wi is not on the golf course she enjoys watching movies, shopping and listening to music.

One era has ended for Sarah Wi, and another one begins next season for her younger sister Rachel, as she embarks on a journey that her older sister loved.
