Women's golfer Leleaga Meredith finishes third at state

Irvine Valley women's freshman golfer Leleaga Meredith had one of the best ever showings for the Irvine Valley women's golf team at the 2013 CCCAA State Championships, which finished up on Monday at the Tracy Golf and Country Club.

Meredith ended up third overall with a two-day total of 159.

She shot 76 on the first day and 83 on the second day. Par for the two days was 146.

Low individual score was by Santa Barbara City's Fanny Johannson, who was the only player to shoot both rounds in the 70's to finish with a 151.

Fullerton's Nea Bennett and Meredith tied for second at 159. But Bennett was moved to second and Meredith to third after Bennett won the tie-breaker.

Johannson also led Santa Barbara City to the team title. Irvine Valley won the title last season.

Meredith was still named to the all-state team for her efforts. She added to her list of awards on the season, which also included all-Orange Empire Conference and all-Southern California.

Irvine Valley's other individual at the state event, freshman Cindy Dang, came in 21st overall with a two-day total of 171.

She shot 84 the first day and carded 87 the second day.
