STATE CHAMPIONS! Socorro Lady Warriors win state golf championship

The Socorro Lady Warriors are the 2025 State 1-3A Golf Champions as freshman Abbegail Munguia and junior Natasha Apodoca tied for the lowest individual two-day scores of 162. Socorro turned a 46-stroke lead into a smashing 116-stroke victory over second-place Gateway Christian at the Riverside Golf Course in Farmington today.
It was a breakout weekend for Munguia, who shot an 81 on Monday and followed it up with another 81 on Tuesday. Apodaca had the lowest round on Day 2, a 79, and was sitting in third place after her Day 1 score of 83.
Socorro had victory in hand as it awaited its final golfer and only senior Ariana Crespin to finish her final hole before the victory celebration began. Already in the clubhouse was 4th place finisher Kailyn Woods (179), and Crespin’s 187 total was 7th.
Freshman Avery Timmons’ 198 total was a 7th-place finish for Kristen Griego’s.
