Exciting Times in East Providence as Hanley Correia Makes College Commitment
East Providence is buzzing with excitement as local golf star Hanley Correia makes waves in the sports scene. The talented athlete recently announced her commitment to play Division I golf at Stonehill College. This decision comes after an impressive junior season, where she showcased her skills and her heart on the course.
Support All Around
Correia took to social media to share her joy and gratitude, showering thanks to God, her family, friends, and her coach, Coach Crovetti, who have all played significant roles in her journey. It’s always inspiring to see a young athlete recognize the support system that helps them succeed!
Rising Star at Ledgemont Country Club
Playing out of the prestigious Ledgemont Country Club, Hanley made quite an impression this year. She reached the finals of the Rhode Island Junior Amateur Championship, ultimately finishing as the runner-up behind Lily Dessel. Not one to be discouraged, she followed that up with a fantastic solo-seventh place finish at the New England Junior Am in Massachusetts.
Remarkable Performances
Let’s not forget some of her standout accomplishments earlier in the year. She finished sixth at the Challenge Cup Championship and claimed the prestigious individual medalist title at the South sectional championship with a score of 2-over-par 74. Her hard work truly shines through these achievements, and they indicate a bright future ahead!
The Team’s Triumph
It’s not all about individual accolades for Correia, though. She is also a valuable member of the Walpole girls’ golf team, which secured its second consecutive sectional crown with a stellar team score of 371. They outplayed their rivals, the Red Hawks, who scored 389, and Duxbury, who finished with 394.
A Family of Athletes
Hanley comes from a family of athletes who have inspired her journey. Her older brother, Chad, is currently a freshman at Bryant University, while both of her parents have impressive athletic backgrounds: Rod was a baseball player and Martha once graced the ice as a professional figure skater. It’s no wonder that Hanley has excelled in sports!
Key Moments on the Course
This year’s championship round had its highs and lows. Correia made a crucial birdie on the par-5 14th hole, a significant improvement from the previous year when that hole proved to be a challenge for her. On a day with tough approach shots, she credited her success to her precise chipping. Her strategic play turned what could have been a disappointing outing into a memorable success!
Balancing School and Sport
After wrapping up her round, Hanley didn’t take a break; instead, she hit up a local Starbucks to tackle some homework while waiting for the score updates from her competitors still on the course. What a dedicated student-athlete!
Looking Ahead
As Hanley embarks on this new journey at Stonehill College, she hopes to maintain her golf reputation and aims to reclaim the championship title next year. With her talent, hard work, and supportive circle, it’s clear that more exciting chapters are in store for this golf star!
