The best-ball format led to Eastviewís team of Katie Detlefsen and Johnny Greene teaming up to win medalist honors with a score of 75.

Apple Valley Despite finishing last in its golf meet against Eastview and Eden Prairie, the Apple Valley girlsí golf team reached its goal. The goal for the Eagles is to shoot 200 or lower in each meet. The Eagles met that goal by shooting a 200 at Valleywood in a nine-hole match. Eden Prairie won the match with 171 and Eastview finished second with 175. Even with reaching their goal, it wasnít the best day for the Eagles as they have played better in the past. ìOur team did not play our best meet of the year,î head coach John Christiansen said. ìOverall, I think as a team we could have shot better. But we all have our ups and downs. This was a meet that as a team we didnít all shoot our best.î Another positive for the Eagles was the play of Steph Leach. She fired her low round of the year by shooting 43. Teammate Jenna Quam had the next best finish by an Eagle when she fired 46. Lauren Shoemaker shot 54, Nicole Buehrer 57, Jess Ptachik 59 and Brittney Nielsen shot 58 in her first varsity match to round out the Eagle scores.

It is Huhnerkochís fourth-straight medalist round. ìLaurenís been real steady,î head coach Alan VanWyngarden said. But the team would not have won if not for solid efforts behind Huhnerkoch. Michelle Reiners finished with 42, Christie Anderson and Brooke Carney shot a pair of 43s and Kate Nelson shot 45. Brittany Mackley shot 51. ìIím real pleased with all the kids,î VanWyngarden said. ìMichelle is starting to put some consistent rounds together which is real good.î Todd Abeln is at sports.thisweek@ecm-inc.com. © Thisweek Newspapers |
