Arcadia’s Walters second at Viroqua Hills mini meet

In the first taste of conference competition this fall, Arcadia junior Riley Walters earned herself a spot up near the top of the individual leaderboard.

Walters carded a 50 to place second overall among the 18 golfers competing at the first Coulee Conference mini meet of the year last Wednesday at Viroqua Hills Golf Course. Westby/Viroqua senior Maddi Fletcher fired a 38 to finish well ahead of the rest of the field in first place. 

Cochrane-Fountain City freshman Bailey Kujak and Black River Falls sophomores Jordyn King and McKenzie Apicella all recorded a 51 to finish in a three-way tie for third.

In addition to Walters, the Raiders had junior Sacia Boland in eighth with a 54, junior Kalyce Sobotta in 12th with a 58 and junior Amaya Schlesser in a tie for 15th with a 62.

Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau was led by senior Jazlynn Olson, who carded a 53 to tie for sixth overall. The Red Hawks also had sophomore Julia Baures in 14th with a 60, junior Madeline Ruud in 17th with a 65 and freshman Addy Devine in 18th with a 70.

BRF won the mini meet with a team score of 211, followed by Arcadia (224) in second and G-E-T (248) in third. C-FC and Westby/Viroqua did not have enough golfers competing to qualify for a team score.

The next two Coulee mini meets are set to take place Thursday at Walnut Grove Golf Course in Cochrane and Monday at Arcadia Country Club. Both meets are set to get underway at 4 p.m.
