Below is the 2024 All-Greater Rochester boys golf team, as determined by a vote of Section V coaches with input from sportswriters from the Democrat, Chronicle and Messenger Post.
Golfer of the Year
Year: Sophomore
parents: Nicole Wegman and Jason Wehle
Key Results: I helped my team reach the section finals and share the individual section championship, finishing with eight consecutive rounds under par and 15 rounds above par, and earned this award for the effort and time I put into my game.
Why he was chosen as Golfer of the Year: Danny Wehrle has been the most consistent golfer this season. Though only a sophomore, Wehrle is already a two-time AGR first team selection. He was named to the All-State team twice and placed 17th at the state tournament in June after finishing fifth in 2023.
A two-time individual division champion, Wehrle won the Section V Class B title as a freshman at Bishop Kearney and was a co-medalist this spring at the Section V Class AA and state qualifying tournaments with teammate Richard Essen. During the postseason, Wehrle shot a three-under-par 69 at the sectional and an even-par 72 at the state qualifying round to safely advance to the NYSPHSAA tournament with a two-round total of one-under-par 141.
