Top golfer Krystal Quihuis, from Salpointe, was selected as a high school all star for 2012 in Tucson, Ariz., on Nov. 28, 2012.

UA women's golf has potential to win championship  

Arizona’s best chance to win an NCAA championship this season will be in women’s golf. The No. 7-ranked Wildcats aren’t sleeping on that idea. When I arrived at the Randolph Golf Complex at 5:45 a.m. Thursday, the entire UA women’s golf team and coach Laura Ianello were already on the driving range. The sun had not yet risen. UA freshman Krystal Quihuis of Salpointe Catholic has quietly become one of the Pac-12’s top golfers; she has finished fourth, sixth and ninth overall in Arizona’s spring tournaments and has a per-round stroke average of 73.47, challenging UA veterans Lindsey Weaver (73.45) and Manon Gidali (73.09) for the team lead.
