Cheboygan's Markham ties for seventh, makes All-NSC first team at conference golf finals

ELLSWORTH – It’s been a solid golf season for Elise Markham .

On Wednesday, the Cheboygan sophomore added to her impressive campaign by earning All-Northern Shores Conference honors during the conference finals held at Antrim Dells Golf Course in Ellsworth.

Markham’s 18-hole score of 106 not only helped her finish in a tie for seventh individually, but it also secured her a spot on the NSC first team.

“I think Elise has done an excellent job of leading and helping welcome so many new golfers to our team that her making the all-conference first team is well deserved, not only because she earned it with her score, but because she is a great example of how a competitor should treat teammates and competitors,” Cheboygan coach Sean McNeil said.
