You might recall the story last year of Hayley Milbourn, last year's area Golfer of the Year from Roland Park. Despite leading the field at the conference tournament by nine strokes, Milbourn gave up a chance to capture her third straight Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland league title last year because she inadvertently struck the wrong ball and turned herself in. Milbourn was honored at last year's Sun High School Athlete of the Year ceremony for her sportsmanship.

Milbourn's parents report, with justifiable and understandable pride, that she had a splendid freshman year at Amherst College, where she won five tournaments this spring, and finished second in two others. Her 74 in the final round of the Williams Spring Invitational, the last match of the season, tied a course record.

This just goes to show that nice girls really can finish first.
