Wellington’s Taryn Viramontes – Poll Winner – Presented by WSU Tech

By Matt Browning

Golf can be a game that affects the mental side more than the physical side, so Wellington’s Taryn Viramontes made that a priority to work on in the offseason.

“One area I would like to improve on is the mental game of golf,” Viramontes said. “To work on that during the offseason I’ve just been trying to focus on one shot at a time.”

Being a senior, Viramontes wants to make sure her final season as a Crusader is one she will always remember.

“For me individual goals I have for myself is to always have fun and enjoy my last season of high school golf,” Viramontes said. “For the upcoming season I am most excited about seeing how good we can do as a team, and seeing if I can improve from my last year.”

Viramontes placed sixth at the 4A Tournament last season, shooting a two-day total of 160. That score earned her second team all-state and she also earned first team all-league.

She won the Wellington Invitational by shooting a season-low three over 73. 

Despite all of her accolades and honors in 2024, Viramontes put in the time in the offseason to be even better in 2025.

“During the spring I played in a couple tournaments around my area,” Viramontes said. “I spent my summer just practicing on certain areas that I thought I needed to work on.”
