DURAND — The Colfax and Elk Mound golf teams were in action on Monday, May 9 at Rolling Greens golf course with other conference teams. Elk Mound finished fifth out of six teams and Colfax took last in the conference meet. Mondovi took first overall on the day with 174 strokes.
Colfax
The Colfax golf team finished last on the day with a total of 208 strokes for the team. They were one golfer short for varsity, but they only took the top four scores on the afternoon.
Leading the way again for the Vikings was senior Trevor Seston with a 45 and just a few strokes behind Seston was fellow senior teammate Trey Guillickson with a 47. Seston and Guillickson were the only Vikings scoring in the forties on the day.
Rounding out the other two varsity participants were senior Andy Buckley and sophomore Richard Stehling who both shot a 58 on the course.
Head Coach Vince Ross was not surprised at some of the high scores on the night due to the greens.
“We had a difficult time with the quick greens along with most of the golfers in the conference,” stated Ross after the meet.
Elk Mound
The Mounders finished fifth overall on the day and total 198 shots to keep them just under 200.
Leading the way for Elk Mound was junior Jameson Rubenzer with a 45 on the afternoon. Rubenzer was the only Mounder who shot under a fifty on the day. It was freshman Maxwell Marquardt that shot behind Rubenzer on the day tallying and even 50 to help his team out.
The two other varsity golfers that scored high enough to count for some of the scoring was sophomore Nathaniel Schreiber with a 51 and senior Colin Svee with a 52. The other varsity player on the day for Elk Mound was freshman Dillon McLaughlin who finished with a 57 and struggled on the day.
The Vikings will be back in action on Saturday, May 14 at Spring Valley for their next week and will be looking to improve on their scores from Rolling Greens. Elk Mound will have the rest of the week off and will be practicing for next week.
