Three opponents on Monday couldn’t do what 38 had tried previously: beat Sequim’s boys golf squad.
Led by junior Paul Jacobsen’s 2-over-par 72, SHS’s boys ran their league match winning streak to 41 with sweep in a four-school match at The Cedars at Dungeness on April 15.
Not to be outdone, Sequim’s girls also picked up a sweep to run their record to 6-2.
With Jacobsen’s teammate Blake Wiker tied for second (with Chimacum’s Logan Storm) and SHS freshman Ben Sweet shooting an 82 for fourth, Sequim’s boys tallied 317 team points to out-pace North Mason (392), Port Townsend (411) and Chimacum (419).
The win gives Sequim’s boys (8-0) their fourth consecutive Olympic League title.
Playing the par 36 front nine at The Cedars, Sequim’s girls got a second-place finish from Yana Hoesel (45, tying her career low nine-hole round) and third from Maddie Uranga (47) to tally 199 team points to out-play North Mason (222), Port Townsend (258) and Chimacum (288).
“The playing conditions were great and the weather cooperated,” SHS girls coach Garrett Smithson said.

After starting last week with a 160-209 victory (low score wins) at home against Bremerton on April 8, Sequim’s boys earned a 168-187 win over Olympic at Rolling Hills Golf Course in Bremerton on April 9.
Wiker paced the Wolves with a 38. Chris Duckworth of Olympic was second with a 40, while Jacobsen of Sequim was third with a 41. Sweet and Dom Riccobene shot rounds of 44 and 45 to cap Sequim’s scoring.
Sequim’s girls golf squad lost 188-228 at undefeated Olympic on April 8, but two days later rebounded with a 197-217 win over the visiting Bremerton Knights at The Cedars at Dungeness.
Uranga and Lily Gelhaus of Bremerton tied for medalist honors with rounds of 47. Sequim’s Brittany Gale shot a 48 for third place while Julia Heath of Bremerton was fourth (49); Sequim’s Jessica German and JoNell Hill tied for fifth with 51s.
Kaylee Dunlap and Claire Payne played their first varsity matches and finished with rounds of 59 and 67.
“The conditions were windy and cold but the girls battled through it,” Smithson said.
