Girls Golf Class A state tournament update - Final results posted


Late Thursday afternoon, I heard that Whitney Bertram shot an unofficial 52 on her first round of nine this morning. According to the report I heard, it was the more difficult "nine" of the meet.

Currently she's just over half ways through her second round of nine.

Update at 8pm...Whitney had a strong finish on her final round of nine today, carding a 45. Added to the 51 she scored this morning, her cumulative total was 192 after all four rounds of nine were taken into account. She ended up tied for 24th with three other golfers.

The 192 beats her total as a junior at "state," when she totaled 195 (13th out of 88 golfers)...in 2009 a total of 87 girls competed in the Class A state golf tournament.

Section 5A medalist Kelsey Ross of Osakis finished with a 174, good for a two-way tie for sixth place. Ross is just a sophomore.

Now all that's left for B-B-E this year is Heidi Lensing at the Class A Track and Field State Tournament. She performs at 3pm tomorrow (Friday) in both the High Jump and Long Jump finals.

Our neighbors to the west, Minnewaska Area, claimed their fourth straight State Girls Golf championship today at the Ridges at Sand Creek golf course in Jordan, MN. They defeated second-place Red Wing by an incredible 610 to 677 margin.

**A late-evening plug for the Elrosa Saints... they host Spring Hill on Friday night in Elrosa with 8:15 set for the first pitch.
