Alcuin’s Schachtel Wins TAPPS Golf Title
Adysn Schachtel isn’t just winning trophies, she’s doing it in historic fashion. At the recent TAPPS 2A golf tournament in Waco, the Alcuin School sophomore won her first state title by 23 shots, shooting a two-day total of 150.
“It was an incredible feeling at the end,” Schachtel said. “I’ve put in so much work and to see it pay off is really satisfying. Even still, I have high expectations for myself and I know I can get better.”
This season, Schachtel medaled in two tournaments, placed second at the Denton Ryan Invitational and the Jesuit Invitational, and won a TAPPS regional championship. Her average score as a sophomore was 76.
“Having had the privilege of coaching Adysn since she was in middle school, it’s hard for me to put into words how proud of what she has accomplished thus far in such a short amount of time,” said Seth Sayler, Alcuin golf coach. “Her golf accomplishments are certainly a feat to be proud of and they have a rippling effect across Alcuin’s golf program as a whole. Golf is just a game, but it’s a game that can help mold and shape who you are as a person.”
Schachtel is Alcuin’s first female varsity golfer in the young program’s history. She made her first appearance at the state tournament at the 1A level as a freshman.
“We are so incredibly proud of what Adysn has accomplished in two short years as a member of the varsity golf team,” said Andy Silverman, Alcuin director of athletics. “She is a special talent, an even better teammate, and continues not only to set a high standard, but chart a new course for future female golfers here at Alcuin.”
