HOW IT HAPPENED
• Sawchuk finished in a tie for 17th place in the 49-golfer field with a three-day total of 242 (80-82-80), breaking the old 54-hole school record of 250, set by Stefani Zappa at the 2009 and 2010 MIAC meet, and by Emma Kraft at the 2020-21 conference meet. Her first- and third-round 80s are tied for the second-best individual rounds by an Auggie in conference meet competition, with Zappa's third-round 78 in 2009 the school-best.
