Results are in. Voters tab Palmer Trinity golfer as Miami-Dade fall athlete of the year
She had a dominant freshman season on the links.
And Remi Bacardi is being rewarded for it.
Miami Herald readers voted the Palmer Trinity golfer as the Miami Herald’s Fall Athlete of the Year for Miami-Dade County.
Bacardi made it to the 1A championship for the second straight season and tied for 15th individually at the state tournament at the Mission Inn Resort & Club at Howey-in-the-Hills. She also tied for sixth at regionals and won districts.
“My goal is by the end of my high school career to at least finish second at state,” Bacardi, who is the daughter of Bacardi Chairman Facundo L. Bacardi and started playing golf when she was 5, said during her Girls’ Golf Player of the Year interview.
About 5,500 people voted in the poll, which included all 16 players from Miami-Dade County who were named player of the year in their respective sport by the Miami Herald this year. Bacardi received 24 percent of the vote, with Hialeah Educational boys’ bowler Tyler Keller (16 percent), Westminster Christian girls’ volleyball’s Emily Matias (15 percent) and Gulliver Prep football’s Carson Haggard (14 percent) rounding out the top four.
The Miami Herald will select its overall Athletes of the Year and reveal those winners in June. The results from this poll will not have a bearing on those selections.
