It was a beautiful day for golf Thursday, May 26 as the Waseca Bluejays hosted the South Sub-Section 2AA Boys’ and Girls’ Golf Tournament on the par-71 Waseca Lakeside layout. The Bluejay boys (315) won the team title by 16 strokes and advanced five golfers to the section tournament.

The NRHEG girls’ team finished in sixth place, but Panthers’ Maddy Reed and Brina Bergland both shot 107s to capture a spot in the Section tourney slated for Thursday at New Prague. Hannah Moe finished with 118, and Michaela Hansen had a 119. The Fairmont girls won the event with a 387. Triton’s Lacey Koss was medalist with an 87.

Fairmont won the girls’ meet with 387 strokes. The Panthers had 451.

The NRHEG boys finished seventh out of eight. Sam Grothem was low for the Panther boys with an 87. Aaron Patraw (90,) Jon Walstrom (91) and Matt Nafe (92) all figured in the scoring. Waseca’s Jon Pederson led all scorers with a one-over-par 72. 

Waseca won with 315 strokes. NRHEG totaled 360.

“Brina and Maddy played well today to qualify for section,” said Panther coach Brad Root. “The boys did not play anywhere near their potential. The trees and rough got the best of them. Overall, the boys had a good regular season going 7-3 and the girls went 4-6. Now, our focus is on preparing the girls for the section and trying to advance to state.”
