Danielson shot a two-under-par 142 in the two-day meet. Her sister Lindsay won four straight state titles from 2005-08 and now Casey has the '09, '10 and '11 titles. Lindsay is currently a golfer with the University of Wisconsin. Of course, during this all this time the Danielsons have and extensive collection of Middle Border Conference, regional and sectional medals as well.

And don't forget brother Charlie Danielson as he won the state individual championship in Division 2 back in 2010.
