It has been a great two-year stint for the 2018 Orange Empire Player of the Year. As a freshman, Jeon took 3rd place in the OEC Championships 162 (82 / 80), and then she went on to win the Southern California Championship the following weekend 152 (75 / 77).
This is the first time in program's history that an individual has won the state title.
"She was a consistent winner all year long winning OEC 4 tourneys. As our team captain, she played her best on the biggest stage of the year starting off on the first whole with a birdie. What makes this even more special is that as a good a player she is, she's an even better person", Hornet Head Coach John Winek.
