Glenwood City’s top three shooters all finished 13th or higher.
Junior Gabe Knops led the Glenwood City’s regional effort with a score of 93 over 18 holes. That placed Knops in a tied for 11th place.
The Toppers’ only senior Owen Swenby along with junior Ian Radintz were among five golfers to shot 95 and finish in 13th place.
Freshmen Esdyn Swenby and Charlie Lamb completed the Glenwood City regional quintet. Swenby shot a 103 for 27th while Lamb was just a stroke back taking 28th place with a 104.
A pair of seniors took the top individual honors as Osseo-Fairchild’s Ian Vold and Cadott’s Jacob Ackley finished in a first-place tie with identical scores of 86 on the par-72 course. The duo also led their teams to the top two finishes with host Cadott taking home the winner’s plaque with a 364 while Osseo-Fairchild was the runner-up posting a 373.
