Introducing our WXXV Student Athlete of the Week, East Central Golf’s Sarahlyn Richards!

East Central junior golfer Sarahlyn Richards is our latest WXXV Student-Athlete of the Week!

Richards has helped lead the Hornets to tremendous success on the golf course, including their third state championship in four years.

Her love for the game began nine years ago when she started playing golf with her dad at Whispering Pines Golf Course. Since then, Richards has continued to grow as a player while learning valuable lessons that extend beyond the course.

Richards also has shown tremendous resilience throughout her golf journey, overcoming challenges with scoliosis while working her way back onto the greens.

At this year’s state championship, Richards posted a score of 21-over par, finishing with the second-lowest individual score in the field and helping East Central secure another state title in a thrilling playoff finish.

Now entering her senior season, Richards hopes to help the Hornets capture a third consecutive state championship while pursuing her goal of playing golf at the collegiate level.

Congratulations to Sarahlyn Richards on being named our WXXV Student-Athlete of the Week!
