At the 2024 3A golf tournament, Wichita Collegiate was down by a couple shots after the first day and wasn’t able to overcome the deficit.
This season, the Spartans led Wichita Trinity by a shot after the first day and cruised to the team title – exactly what Zach Voloch wanted to achieve.
“One thing that I wanted to accomplish is winning state as a team this year,” Voloch said. “Beating Hesston at regionals would be fun too.” (Collegiate finished second at regionals to Trinity, but did beat Hesston by 15 shots)
Prior to winning a state title, Voloch had another memory that was impactful.
“I believe the highlight of the season so far was winning league in some heavy wind and beating out Andale,” Voloch said. “Which is the third league championship I have won in high school.”
Voloch credits his coaches and teammates as being vital to his development as a Wichita Collegiate golfer.
“My coaches, Coach Esterline and Coach Widener, have meant everything,” Voloch said. “Ever since I was a freshman on JV and didn’t know how to hit a ball to now, they have given me so much support throughout high school. I have made great connections with all my teammates all four years and believe that these relationships will grow after high school.”
