On the guys’ side of things, Fillmore Central (367) sat in second place behind Blooming Prairie (342) after Day One. The Falcons shot a better Day Two score (357), but couldn’t make up the difference. BP (342/339 > 681) was crowned Section 1A champion. FC (367/357 > 724) beat out Lewiston-Altura (374/351 > 725) for Runner-Up. Individually, two county athletes earned repeat trips to Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker. After a Day One 85, which had him tied for sixth and in the last individual qualifier spot, Kingsland’s Simon Broadwater posted a Day Two 78. The junior moved up to fourth place (85/78 > 163) to cement a second state trip. BP’s Tommy Braaten (149), Bethlehem Academy’s Khrystjan Peterson (153) and L-A’s Zach Anderson (162) finished 1-2-3. Broadwater led the field after 18-holes last season (75) and finished tied for fifth (159). Simon shot a 171 at state a year ago to tie for 39th place (of 85). FC senior Delton Sauer will also re-hash his abilities at Pebble Creek. Sauer (83, 83) led the Falcons with a 166. He tied for fifth place to earn a spot in the state field. Delton shot a 166 last year too, but finished tied for 13th place. As a sophomore, Sauer was a member of FC’s Section Champion/state entrant team. R-P’s Hayden Stensgard (88, 81 > 8th place) made a push for state with a great Day Two score (which included a 37). Stensgard’s 169 was one stroke out of the last state spot, grabbed by W-K’s Liam Blaschko (168). Kingsland’s Wyatt Pruter (88/90 > 178) took 12th place. FC’s Connor Morem (88/91 > 179) took 13th. R-P’s Luke Rasmussen (90/93 > 183) took 15th. FC’s Carter Nevalainen (90/95 > 185) took 18th. R-P’s Jordan McNamer (94/92 > 186) took 19th place (of 45). Like the girls, the meet was held at the par-70 Willow Creek Golf Course.
