Catherine Casey and Maddie Callis enjoyed a successful final 18 holes as seniors at Windyke Country Club as the Lynx shot 337 in the final round to win the Rhodes Invitational.  Stephanie Mingos added a 77 to her opening round 78 to earn medalist honors.  Allie Bankart carded her best score of the spring with a 79 to tie Katie Dale (79-85) for 2nd place with a 164 total.  Rounding out the all-tournament team was Nicole Jones (85-91=176).  Other Rhodes scores:  Christy Siegel - 90, Maddie Callis - 91, Jami King - 99, Catherine Casey - 104.

Maddie Callis arrived to Rhodes in August, 2006 from HIckman High School in Columbia, MO.  "I had just assumed the Head Women's Golf coaching duties in the summer, 2006 and I called Maddie to inquire about her interest in playing on the golf team," said Lynx coach Mike Clary.  "Our women's golf program was in the midst of a rebuilding phase and we needed players to field a team.  Maddie has been a mainstay for our program the past four years."

"With a thin roster in the spring, 2007, I asked Maddie to ask around in the first-year class to see if anyone was interested in joining the team.  Maddie recruited Catherine Casey (Birmingham, AL; Mountain Brook HS)  to join the team, and what a joy it has been having Catherine on the team," said Coach Clary.  

"In the past four years Catherine and Maddie have traveled to Pebble Beach, CA, Santa Rosa Beach, FL, Jekyll Island, GA, Orange Lake Resort near Orlando, and among other fabulous destinations, Fulton, MO and Tunica, MS," said Coach Clary.  "We've sure had a blast the past four years.  We'll miss our Maddie and Catherine."
