Leaders of day one on the green included sophomore Brady Turnquist, who tied for seventh place with a score of 75. Freshman Melanie Reyes and sophomore Mary Grace Davidson tied for ninth, finishing with a score of 76. 

A SWINGING SUCCESS

Despite coming in second place, Turnquist finished first place as an individual with a total score of 146. Redshirt junior Sami Penor made the Top 10, tying for seventh place and finishing the tournament with a score of 151.

Natalie Hernandez is a junior journalism major who loves cooking with her boyfriend, enjoys photo adventures, and new experiences. [email protected] I was born and raised in California, but I have always moved around. Although I have always lived here I have never missed the opportunity to get out of LA. My father is an immigrant and my mother is first-generation Mexican. I am the first in my family to attend college and I am proud of that. School does not come easy to me and I am glad I have pushed myself. I went to college in Seattle, WA but moved back due to my mother getting sick. When I got back to LA, I hit the ground running. I enrolled in community college and started working. I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I took one photography class and I knew this is what I want to do. My love for journalism, photography, and sports started on the sidelines of my high school football field. Every single game junior-senior year you could find me on the sidelines taking photos or getting a quote from a coach. I have never been athletic but I enjoy watching and learning about all different sports. I love telling stories. This is just my first year at Biola as a transfer student and first semester at The Chimes but I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
