COLUMBUS – State Senators Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) and Peggy Lehner (R-Kettering) today hosted Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School’s Girls’ Golf Team at the Ohio Statehouse.  Led by Coach George Menker, the squad recently capped a successful season by capturing the State Championship. 

Senators Beagle and Lehner presented the student-athletes with a Senate Resolution this afternoon. 

From the Chaminade Julienne Eagles web site: 

“The women’s golf team has only been around for five years, and after having played some of the toughest division one schools in the area, the Eagles are leaving their mark on and off the course. 

“Coach George Menker ’55 , is beyond thrilled to coach such a stellar team. He says the girls work hard, not only on their golf game, but also as positive players in a generally stressful sport. Other players and coaches notice the good sportsmanship in these players, and as Mike Akers, director of conference golf tournaments, said, “This team has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.” 

“Colleges and universities such as the University of Toledo, Wittenberg, Ohio Dominican, Saint Mary’s, and Cleveland State are recruiting from this outstanding group of golfers.”
