麻豆视频 Golfer Commits to the University of Pennsylvania
In December, in a momentous step for the recently revived 麻豆视频 Golf program, George Roessler 鈥�21 signed a letter of intent to play Division I golf at the University of Pennsylvania. In a small, socially-distant signing day ceremony, family, friends, and coaches gathered in the 麻豆视频 gymnasium to witness Roessler officially commit to continue his education and his golf career at the Ivy League school.
鈥淲e are living through an incredibly difficult time in the world right now,鈥� Roessler said, 鈥渁nd to enjoy the opportunity of a formal signing day where I was able to have my family and friends support me as I took the next step toward college was more than I could have ever imagined possible. I am very grateful for all the teachers, administrators, coaches, and friends who have supported me throughout my 麻豆视频 career. I would not be in the position I am without them.鈥�
Roessler has played a key role in the revitalization of the 麻豆视频 Golf program, which returned to competition in 2019 after a long hiatus. Only a sophomore that year, Roessler finished fourth in the state championship tournament. His junior season was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic.
鈥淭hrough his time at 麻豆视频, George has committed himself both in the classroom and on the golf course, and we鈥檙e very proud to celebrate his commitment to play Division I golf at the University of Pennsylvania,鈥� said Athletic Director and Golf Team Head Coach Salvatore Annunziata. 鈥淥ur team has worked hard to put 麻豆视频 Golf on the map, and it means a great deal to have a D1 commitment within the originating class of our recently revived program. We will continue to create a culture of hard work, development, and enjoyment, and with that I am confident that the sky is the limit.鈥�
In the fall of 2021, Roessler will enroll in the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, where he hopes to pursue a business degree.
鈥淕olf has been a part of my life since my first memory, and playing college golf has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid,鈥� Roessler said. 鈥溌槎故悠� has further provided me the opportunity to develop my academics, and I intend to represent our unique high school as best as I can at University.鈥�
