Remember all the hype that surrounded the opening of The Da Vinci Code? Sure seems like a long time ago we first saw Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, doesn't it?
That film opened worldwide on May 19, 2006. Three days earlier, Minnewaska's girls' golf team last settled for a runner-up finish.
That was 60 matches/tournaments ago. SIXTY!
The Lakers hit the big milestone last night, at a West Central Conference meet at Island Pine Golf Club in Atwater.
Since that last second-place finish, Minnewaska has accomplished the following en route to four straight state titles:
The rest of 2006: 4 wins
2007: 18
2008: 17
2009: 18
2010 (so far): 3
How's that for consistency?
