Hamilton County boasts some of the best golf courses in the state and, unsurprisingly, also fields some of the best high school golf teams on an annual basis.

The teams of Hamilton County once again played up to this high standard in 2017.

Four area schools qualified for the state finals last month (Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield) with three teams finishing in the top five overall: Carmel (state runner-up), Westfield (third place) and Noblesville (fourth place).

Hamilton County once again boasted a number of excellent girls track and field teams this past spring.

County teams occupied four of the top-10 spots in the state finals standings including state runner-up Hamilton Southeastern. Fishers finished in a tie with Zionsville for eighth place, while Noblesville and Carmel tied for tenth.

With such a strong overall team result, it should come as no surprise that the Royals gobbled up this year’s batch of county awards.
