There were 58 boys golfing.  Medal winners were:

4th - Cole Gilsdorf, Border West 83
5th- Traeton Nelson, Ashby 83
6th - Brett Amundson, WCA 84

WCA Knights Coach Kraig Hunter said, "I feel it was a gritty performance by our guys playing in winds gusting to 30 mph.  You had to grind and keep fighting knowing everyone in the field was going to have some tough holes in that wind. It was nice to get four medalists and Peyton Hanson was right there as well with a 10th place finish shooting an 86."
