PRESCOTT — The 2021 golf season came to an end for the Colfax/Elk Mound girls’ golf team at last Wednesday’s WIAA Division 2 regional tournament. Neither the team nor any of its individual players were able to earn a berth in this week’s St. Croix Central sectional meet at Hammond’s Pheasant Hills.
Colfax/Elk Mound finished ninth out of ten teams after scoring a 471 in the September 29 regional competition held at Clifton Highlands Golf Course in Prescott.
As she has done for much of the season, senior Olivia Clickner led the local squad wrapping up her prep links career shooting a 109 in the 18-hole regional meet to finish in 27th place. Clickner scored a 54 on the front nine and finished up with a 55 on the final nine holes of play.
A trio of Colfax/Elk Mound golfers finished within three strokes of one another in Prescott. Seniors Brynna Streifel and Emma Nechanicky carded scores of 119 (61 and 58) and 121 (64 and 57), respectively, while sophomore Selena Clickner finished with a 122 (56 and 66), three placed 37th, 28th and 39th.
Rounding out the scoring for C/EM was the fourth senior member of the team, Ella Reese. She shot a 68 on the opening nine holes before shaving off six strokes for a 62 on the final nine to finish in 45th place with a 130.
The first four teams and top four individuals, who were not members of a qualifying team, advanced to the sectional meet.
Host Prescott claimed the regional championship with a 343. St. Croix Central came in second with a 368, CloverCroix champion Eau Claire Regis/Altoona placed third with a 374, and Somerset scored a 400 to place fourth. All four squads earned a sectional berth.
The individual sectional berths went to Amery senior Kaylee Yzermans and Stanley-Boyd junior Emerson Felmee, who both finished tied for 16th with identical scores of 101, junior Paetynn Bliese of Osceola with a 103 and 18th-place showing, and Ellsworth’s senior Shelby Lawler who shot a 104 to finish in 20th.
The first two teams and top three individuals, who are not members of a qualifying team, from the St. Croix Central sectional will participate in the state tournament to be held next Monday and Tuesday, October 11 and 12 at University Ridge in Madison.
