Keira Ronsick of Bishop Carroll was voted the Wichita Large School Girls Golfer of the Year. Ronsick received over 2,300 votes, which was more than 56 percent of the overall vote.

I feel honored to be listed amongst such incredible talent,” Ronsick said. “To get the most votes shows that I have an awesome support system who is always behind me. I really feel like everyone on the list deserved to win because I know we all worked really hard to be successful.”

Ronsick finished in a tie for ninth at the 5A Tournament after shooting 82-83.

“I’ve had some ups and downs this season, but’s that’s just golf for you,” Ronsick said. “I played some of my best tournament rounds towards the end of the summer season with at 72-71 finish at the Wichita Junior Girls City Championship.”

Ronsick doesn’t have the distance that some of the other top golfers in the area do, but she focuses more on consistency and course management over distance.

I have improved on my ability to stay positive and keep focused on the course, even when things don’t work out as planned,” Ronsick said.

Not only does Ronsick play golf at Bishop Carroll, but she also carries a 4.0 grade point average and is involved in Carroll’s Student Ambassador program.

Just a junior, Ronsick doesn’t have concrete plans for college, but she hopes to be able to play golf.
