December 01, 2005 | Women's Golf
BOULDER - University of Colorado head women's golf coach Anne Kelly has penned Christine Kim (Pahoa, Hawai'i), Julie Kim (Port Coquitlam B.C.) and Dominique Pytlewski (Vancouver, B.C.) to National Letters of Intent to attend CU in the fall of 2006.
"I am really, really excited about this class," said Kelly. "It is our best class ever at CU and these three women will provide our team with a wealth of both national and international competition experience that will pay them big dividends in the college game.
"Christine Kim has had good success on the American Junior Golf Tour as well as in her home state of Hawai'i, which will prepare her well for collegiate golf. Julie and Domi, both recently named to the 2006 Canadian National Junior Team, along with Christine, will provide excellent examples of hard work both on the course, and in the classroom. All are strong students and show a great desire to learn and improve as players, and are fine young ladies as well. These three players form our best recruiting class yet here at CU."
