For just the third time in school history, the South Winn boys golf team is headed to state.
The Warriors punched their ticket to the Class 1A tournament after winning the district meet Tuesday at Highland Park Golf Course in Mason City.
South Winn shot a 325 to win the district meet. Lake Mills also fired a 325 to advance to state.
The four Warrior sophomores led the charge as the scorers. Finishing fourth overall was Matson Winings with an 80. Cale Kleppe came through with an 80 as well in seventh place. Braiden Todd came through with an 81 while Carson Streeter carved out an 84. Fashioning an 86 was Jordan Baumler with Jackson Goltz touring the course with a 101.
“I am absolutely ecstatic about the boys’ performance. We had a good practice round on Saturday, and I knew that if we shot like that, we’d be in the mix. The front nine kind of got the best of us, but we absolutely dominated on the back. It was awesome to see Matson come home with some individual hardware, as it was a great testament to our team’s depth. Importantly, we won the tiebreaker against Lake Mills thanks to Jordan Baumler’s 86. And we were only in that position thanks to Braiden Todd’s eagle on his last hole. In these big tournaments, every stroke counts, and our guys made the most out of it. Making it to the state tournament is as good a feeling as it gets,” said Coach Mike Wenthold.
