SEQUIM — Sequim’s Jack Shea and Alex McMenamin both repeated as the Olympic League’s boys and girls golf MVPs.

Shea will play golf at NCAA Division II Montana State University Billings this fall.

McMenamin, a junior, had a nine-hole scoring average of 39.60 in league play, a full four strokes ahead of Klahowya’s McKenna Kendall.

Freshman Blake Wiker joined Shea on the boys first team. Wiker had the third-lowest scoring average in Olympic League play, 40.45.

Chimacum’s Chris Bainbridge and Marcus Bufford also made the boys first team, along with Port Townsend’s Sebastian Thomas-Anderson.

Austin Khile and Patrick Morton of Port Townsend made the boys second team, as did Sequim’s Josiah Carter.

Sequim won the boys team sportsmanship award.
