REINBECK — BCLUW senior Lauren Anderson emerged as the only golfer to finish under 100, earning medalist honors for her round of 92 to lead the Comet girls to the NICL West Division title on Monday at Oak Leaf Country Club.

Anderson was one of three medalwinners for the Comets, who finished with a comfortable 17-stroke advantage over perennial conference power Grundy Center. BCLUW finished in with a 406, with Grundy Center (423) and West Marshall (428) giving chase.

East Marshall (443), South Hardin (465), AGWSR (489) and host Gladbrook-Reinbeck (514) rounded out the field on a perfect day for golf.

Anderson was joined in the medalist ranks by fellow BCLUW senior Madison Trinkle, who finished third with a round of 102, and junior Bailey Ashton, who shot 105 for ninth place.

East Marshall senior Tylyn Eicher shot 101 to earn runner-up honors, while Grundy Center got three medalwinners. Josie Holke-Farnam and Claire Verly both shot 103 to share the fourth-best score of the day, and Frannie Brown finished in with a 104 as the Spartans settled for second place for the second year in a row.

West Marshall’s Whitney Edler and Brooke Snider joined Holke-Farnan and Verly at 103, but brought in sixth and seventh place, respectively, on cardback tiebreakers.

South Hardin was led by Jaelyn Allen and Sybil Below, who both shot 111.

These teams all return to the links next Monday for regional golf. BCLUW hosts its Class 1A Region 3B tournament at South Hardin Recreation Area in Union in hopes of getting back to the state meet, and area schools AGWSR, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, Grundy Center and North Tama will be in attendance as well.

East Marshall, South Hardin and West Marshall all go to Fox Ridge Golf Course in Dike for their 2A Region 3B meet.
