The Jaguars' boys golf team finished as runners-up at the Section 5A-North tournament today at the Minnewaska Golf Course.
Two of the team members will play at sections for the second straight year, as seniors Matt Goodwin and Corey Tonn advanced individually from last year's sub-section meet.
They last advanced as a team in 2008.
West Central Area was boys' champion, while Osakis won the girls' side of Sub-Section 5A-North.
In the south half of the section...
Ortonville won the boys' side at the Sub-Section 5A-South meet, with Dawson-Boyd coming in as runner-up. On the girls' side at Sub-Section 5A-South, Ortonville was also team champion, while MACCRAY came in as runner-up. Those four teams will advance to the Section 5A meet, coming next week on June 4 at the Benson Golf Club.

The Jaguars' girls golf team took third place the the sub-section meet. Only the top two teams advance to Section 5A. On the plus side, though, junior Amy Knutson advanced individually, keeping the streak of sending a Jaguars' girls golfer to sections intact since 2006.
