"We have Bella (Itkin) coming back, and Liesl (Kijora)...", Aaron Quesnell, Athletic Director at La Jolla High, was saying at the Vikings' field hockey playoff last week (Nov. 7).
Christie Quinn, La Jolla's girls and boys golf coach, has seen a boom in the girls' program this fall, with several freshmen, new upperclassmen, and enough golfers to make up two teams--varsity and JV--something the Vikings haven't seen in recent memory.
Quesnell--a lot of "Q" last names--was the current coach's predecessor, and serves at an administrative level in CIF San Diego Section on committees that oversee the golf postseason and competition.
He's licking his chops, because the prospects are coming out of the woodwork. The reason: no one knows, exactly.
Besides Kijora, there are other freshmen who enrolled at La Jolla High this fall and competed this season. She and Itkin played in the CIF individual play at Balboa and Torrey Pines golf venues.
Senior Maddie Quach competed the week before that in match play, squaring off with a golfer from another school. Quach is the glue that builds the team and keeps it together. She will undoubtedly play the same role with the wrestling team this winter, now that golf is concluded.
