MIA Sophomore Repeats as District Champ

Marco Island Academy’s super sophomore, Kaden Latreille, has done it again, repeating as Class 1A District 12 golf champion. Latreille shot a course record 63, winning the district championship by six strokes over runner-up Kieran Shaw of Village School, on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at Valencia Golf Club.  

"And he shot nine under par to win it this year,” said Jerry Miller, MIA athletic director and golf coach.  

Latreille turned heads last year by becoming the district champion as a freshman.  

“I actually don’t know if this has ever happened before,” Miller said, “where a golfer has won back-to-back district championships as an underclassman. This may be a first. This is a pretty darned competitive golf district.” 

Latreille now waits to hear whether he will be selected to compete in the FHSAA state championships, scheduled for November 14-15.
