Decorah Tourney

The Crestwood girls’ team nabbed first place at the Decorah Tournament on April 28 with an 18-hole team score of 391. Waukon was second at 394 and Decorah placed third at 434.

Isabella Lehmkuhl earned medalist honors with a score of 94 (50-44). Other Cadet scores included: Hailey Panos 95 (51-44), Kyrslynn Ruppert 98 (51-47), Megan Ferrie 104 (49-55), Karissa Stika 128 (65-63).

“This was a great effort and focus for 18 holes,” Coach Sorenson said. “I was very pleased with the composure that the girls played with. Golf is best played with a level head and the ability to focus on one thing at a time. I think the girls are understanding the importance of avoiding penalty strokes.”
