Kiley Maier of Campus was voted the Wichita Large School Preseason Girls Golfer of the Year. Maier was a second team all-league golfer last season for the Colts.
“For this season my expectations are to work on my mental game when practicing and playing,” Maier said. “My main goal is to place in more tournaments as a team and to qualify for state again.”
Maier said one of her strengths is a feel for what clubs to hit in a variety of conditions, like knowing when to club up or club down.
“I try to use my strength to help teach my teammates like wind, hot weather vs. cold weather and things like that,” Maier said. “I have been working on my mental game with just learning some exercises to remind myself that I can still have a good round even if I have one bad round.”
Campus golf coach Josh Curtiss said Maier has put in a tremendous amount of work to be the golfer she is today.
“She has been our best golfer since her freshman year,” Curtiss said. “She continues to put in a tremendous amount of time to improve her golf game and it is starting to show up with her results from tournaments.”
Maier is hopeful to play golf in college and she would like to study to be a dermatologist.
