West Central Area sophomore Jessica St. Martin took 29th place with a 191 (95-96), Ellie Johnson of Pelican Rapids was 38th with a 196 (8-98) and Grace Nyhus of Ottertail Central placed 53rd with a 204 (99-105).

"Jessica managed to stay away from most penalties, handled windy conditions, and stayed in control of the nerves that go with playing at the state tournament like a pro," said West Central Area Head Coach Kari Kreft.  "I am so proud of Jessica.  We were at Pebble Creek for a practice round on Monday and then played the two day tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Walking and playing 54 holes in three days is a tiring task, both mentally and physically and is even more challenging when doing it for the first time.  She handled herself well, didn't let some tree troubles or a missed putt here or there get the best of her and was able to enjoy the company of each group she played with.  She has a taste of it now and I fully expect her to be there again next year."

BOLD won the team title by one stroke with a 704 and Park Christian School was runner-up with a 706.  They were followed by Lac qui Parle Valley (720), Badger/Greenbush-Middle River (758), North Woods (800), Murray County Central (800), Fillmore Central (812) and Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton (907).
