Heather Suhr has a chance to make history this season.

Suhr, a senior at Racine Case, joined a rather elite club last October when she won her second straight title at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association state golf tournament at University Ridge Golf Course in Verona.

Not only did she lead the Eagles to their first team title since 1988, Suhr became just the fifth golfer to win back-to-back state titles, joining a group that includes former Madison Memorial standout and LPGA tour member Sherri Steinhauer. Surh became the first to accomplish the feat since Madison La Follette's Erika Brown did it in 1989-'90.
