Alexandria hosted a Central Lakes Conference girls’ golf meet on Tuesday at the Alexandria Golf Club.  “The weather has been a bit of a pain to deal with this April,” noted Fergus Falls Head Coach Ben Jurgens.  “Today we had 25 mile per hour wind gusts, and rain coming down consistently for 2 of the 4 hours the girls were on the course, but they battled through it.  Annika Jyrkas was co-medalist with a 79, which is an impressive score in those conditions.”

 

Sartell junior Gwen Latunski shared medalist honors with Jyrkas.  Third place went to Sophia Karsnia of Brainerd with an 80.  Shayla Nordlund of Sartell was fourth with an 83, Fernanda Ossa of Willmar was fifth with an 84 and Annie Mayer of Fergus Falls came in sixth with an 86.

Olivia Jurgens of the Otters was 23rd with a 98 and Averie Tonneson rounded out the team scoring for Fergus Falls with a 104, good for 30th place.  Other Otter scores included a 105 from Shay Katzenmeyer and a 107 from Hannah Johnson.

Brainerd captured the team title with a 346 and Sartell was runner-up at 357.  Third place went to Willmar with a 358, Alexandria was fourth at 361 and the Otters fifth with a 367.  St. Cloud 405 and Rocori 413 completed the team scoring.

“The one nice thing about getting to play these April meets is the ability to get a lot of girls varsity action,” added Coach Jurgens.
