Jumper leads G-E-T at Coulee title meet, Theis paces Arcadia

Consistent scores throughout the 2024 season and another strong showing at last Tuesday’s Coulee Conference golf championship earned Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau junior Nic Jumper a Second Team All-Conference award.

Jumper, whose 86 at the par-71 Drugan’s Castle Mound Golf Course was the ninth-best round of any golfer on Tuesday, took the final award on the Second Team All-Conference roster.

Westby junior Brooks Hoffland was the best golfer in the field with an 8-over-par 79. Black River Falls put the finishing touches on a conference championship with 322 strokes as a team on Tuesday, clear of West Salem at 340 strokes and Westby at 341.

The champion Tigers saw two seniors round out the top three — Wyatt Madvig posted the second-best round with an 80, and classmate Chris Muir shot an 82.

Jumper wasn’t alone near the top of the leaderboard on Tuesday, as senior Domanick Knott tied for 11th with his 16-over-par 87.

Joey Theis, an Arcadia senior, led the Raiders with an 89 to finish inside the top 20.

Luther placed fourth as a team with 353 strokes, followed by Trempealeau County teams G-E-T (356) and Arcadia (379). Wonewoc-Center finished with 387 strokes.

Mason Kromrey carded a 91 for G-E-T, which also saw freshman Braydan Van Vreede finish with a 92.

Senior Simon Haines shot a 98 for the Raiders, which also got a 99 from Carson Schultz.

Kylan Olson, a G-E-T sophomore, posted the final score of all county golfers with a 100.
