ot many people can say they have gotten the privilege of going to states in a sport. The hard work it takes to accomplish this paid off for junior Mackenzie Dipietro after a successful golf season.

Dipietro started at an early age, and her grandpa got her interested in the sport.

“I started golfing when I was around five years old,” Dipietro said. “My grandpa actually owned his own golf course. He was the one who taught me almost everything I know about golf and really got me interested in it.”

Starting at an early age led Dipietro to be successful.

“The feeling of getting to go to states is indescribable,” she said. “There was a bunch of different feelings, but I was so happy I finally made it to states after not making it the past two years. I was so happy with the way I played. I just couldn’t wait to get out on the course again to keep playing.”

Dipietro’s teammates are proud of her as well as her coach. Junior Katie Casey, Dipietro’s teammate, said her attitude is always positive.

“Mackenzie works very hard to be the best that she can be,” she said. “She is very dedicated to the sport and her team. She always has a positive attitude which helps the team stay positive too.”
