Congratulations to the Varsity golf team on taking 3rd place at Bullseye Golf Club yesterday. The Falcons shot a team score of 389 with several new golfers in the mix. Eli Zakrzewski and Daniel Eichmann led the team, each shooting 94. Eli was on pace to shoot an 85 but decided to hunt for Sasquatch instead. Daniel figured out how to get through a round without a Snickers bar. Dahlaihuu Anderson shot his average and Ben Kisting and Trekk Tubbs must have felt guilty for missing morning lift as they both hoisted their scores into the triple digits. The Varsity is back in action today with their second conference meet at Golden Sands Golf Club.

Congrats to the JV Golf Team on winning the JV Invite yesterday at Glacier Wood. Eght Falcons occupied spots in the top 10, including Carson Zietlow, Kayla Cullen, Ethan Haas, and Sawyer Olds. The Falcons were led by Alexis Wiesman who finished with a three-stroke victory over the rest of the field in her first competition.
