Two Trempealeau County golf courses hosted the Coulee Conference girls golf field last week, though only one of those events was finished.
Golfers played at Arcadia Country Club on Monday and descended upon Ettrick Golf Course on Thursday. The latter meet was canceled after three holes due to severe thunderstorms.
Black River Falls is scheduled to host its conference meet this Monday at Skyline Golf Club before the teams prepare for the conference championship event at Drugan’s Castle Mound in Holmen this Thursday.
Arcadia meet
Only one stroke separated Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau and Arcadia at Monday’s conference meet at the Arcadia Country Club.
The G-E-T Red Hawks finished with 240 strokes as a team, just ahead of Arcadia’s 241. The two area teams finished behind Black River Falls, which won the event with a team score of 223.
Medalist honors went to Westby/Viroqua junior Maddi Fletcher, who continued her reign as the top golfer in the conference. Fletcher carded six pars and three bogeys to finish with a 38 at the par-35 golf course.
Westby/Viroqua did not have enough golfers to post a team score. Cochrane-Fountain City also did not finish with a team score but saw junior Lily Scharmach post the day’s second lowest score with a 46.
Jazlynn Olson was Trempealeau County’s best golfer on Monday. The G-E-T junior carded an 18-over-par 53, a score that tied her for the sixth-best round of the day with Black River Falls’ Andrea Cogswell. Claire Wagner finished eighth for the G-E-T Red Hawks with a 55.
Sophomore Sacia Boland was the Arcadia leader at the Raiders’ home course with a 57. Teammates Kalyce Sobotta and Amaya Schlesser added scores of 58 and 62, respectively, to help Arcadia.
Riley and Jordan Walters carded matching 64s to round out Arcadia’s scores.
The Red Hawks saw sophomore Madeline Ruud shoot a 65, and teammate Julia Baures finished with a 67.
