his year, the Cozad Girls Golf team put some new records on the board! Seniors Abbie Albrecht and Ava Joyce, along with junior Ella Atchison, all earned spots on the Cozad High School Girls Golf record board during the 2025 season.
A special accomplishment this season came from Abbie Albrecht, who recorded a hole-in-one on Hole 15 at Cozad Country Club. Abbie is only the second girls golfer in Cozad High School history to accomplish this, with the first being Mandi Keller in 1991.
Ava Joyce earned her place on the record board by shooting a 45 in 9 holes, adding her name to the Cozad Girls Golf record board with a great performance this season.
Ella Atchison added her name to the record board multiple times this season. She shot a 39 in 9 holes, earning a spot on the 34–40 9-hole record board. Ella also earned a place on the 81–84 18-hole record board with a score of 84. In addition, she earned spots on the 43 and 44 9-hole record boards. We look forward to watching Ella continue to build on her success during the 2026 season!
Congratulations girls on these accomplishments and on a great 2025 golf season!
