Sophia Cunningham '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Sophia Cunningham and I've tried almost every sport imaginable before I found golf, and I'm so thankful that I have. Golf has become one of my greatest passions besides my family, God and education. I began to take the sport seriously and play about four, almost five, years ago. Each year I find so much enjoyment in setting goals for myself and being able to exceed them.

I'm currently playing for Tolland boys varsity golf and have been since my freshman year. I've made all state, all academic conference and all conference two years in a row and am trying to accomplish that my junior year as well. Playing on the boys team has been one of my greatest experiences due to the yardages and camaraderie. I love playing for a team, especially Tolland, even though it's taken me away from the individual girls state tournament. I have a 77 tournament scoring average and a 75 scoring average, I've dropped close to 10 strokes from my last season. My goal for the 2024 spring and summer season is to average 75 or under in tournaments and hit more fairways by improving the consistency with my driver. My overarching goals are to play competitive collegiate golf for a team with amazing chemistry while pursuing my education. I aspire to major in either political science or legal studies. 

I've been told I'm a team player and consider it one of my greatest strengths. Besides that I'm also a hard worker and coachable- I'm open to criticism and welcome any advice I can get. I firmly believe in the power of knowledge and multiple perspectives.  For the 2023-2024 off-season I've been continuing my strength training and speed training to become the best player I can be. In school I have 3.7 GPA and am taking all APs I can for a Junior. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope I'm a good candidate for your school.
