PEARL -- Ellyn Burchfield earned a top-10 individual finish as the Clinton High School women's golf team tied for seventh at the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 7A State Championships on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 19-20, at Patrick Farms Golf Club.

The Lady Arrows combined for a two-day team score of 353 finishing tied with Tupelo in the team standings at the 36-hole championship.

Burchfield led Clinton with a ninth-place tie in the individual standings, carding rounds of 79 and 81 for a two-day total of 160 (16-over par).

The tournament also marked the conclusion of the high school careers of four Clinton seniors -- Burchfield, Laney Mitchell, Harper Davis, and Chloe Abbott Dickinson -- who represented the Lady Arrows in their final state championship appearance.

Burchfield opened Monday's round with a 7-over 79. After making the turn at 4-over, she played the back nine at 3-over, recording a birdie on the par-5 13th hole.

The senior followed with an 81 in Tuesday's final round, highlighted by back-to-back birdies on the par-3 11th and par-4 12th holes. Burchfield finished the championship with three birdies across the two rounds.

Mitchell and Davis finished tied for 27th in the individual standings, each posting a two-day total of 194.

Mitchell opened the tournament with a 98 on Monday before improving by two strokes in Tuesday's final round, carding a 96.

Davis posted consecutive rounds o 97, showing consistency across both days of competition.

Dickinson rounded out Clinton's state championship lineup, finishing 45th individually with a two-day total of 247.

The championship brought Clinton's 2026 campaign to a close as the Lady Arrows bid farewell to its seniors who represented the program on the state's biggest stage and posted second-place finish in the MHSAA Region 2-7A tournament last week.
