Kingfisher’s most recent individual state champs are Maddi Kamas in girls’ golf, left, and Ally Stephenson, whose state meet record-tying 5-8 high jump vaulted her into the No. 1 slot. Stephenson beat her own personal best of 5-6, which brought home the state championship in 2019, as well as tying the 36-year-old state meet record. Kamas became Kingfisher’s second girls golf state champion as she carded rounds of 69 and 67 last Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, at Cushing’s Buffalo Rock Golf & Venue. Her combined score of 136 – 4-under-par overall – was 20 strokes better than runner-up Layne Ailshie of Fort Gibson.
