Our team had a strong showing today in not the best of weather conditions. We had several with 18 hole personal bests (excluding Airport National's par 63 course): Carli Lang, Christina Harrelson, Abbye Hendryx, Aly Smith. This is a nine hole course so the tourney was done by playing it twice. Lillie Lamont earned a 9th place medal and had low putts for us. I was pleased with the 3rd place finish today. Because we tied with Nevada, to resolve it, each team's 5th score is used. Lauren Murray was the deciding factor; another instance to show every person counts!

We return there Monday for a triangular make up meet that was postponed early in the season. It will be interesting to see if we can best today's scores. This will be the final round of regular season play. Next Monday we will play in the 12 team Regional hosted by Waverly for the opportunity to qualify for State. Otter Creek in Ankeny will host the 3A two day tournament.
