Baxter girls win golf triangular at Twin Anchors

COLO — Four Bolts carded career-best scores, and a fifth golfer’s score was needed to decide a road triangular at Twin Anchors Golf Course on May 5.

The Baxter girls golf team was led by medalist Karlee Koehler, and the Bolts tied Clarksville with a 214. Baxter won the meet because it had a fifth golfer and Clarksville didn’t.

Koehler’s career-best 46 won medalist honors, while Klaire Shanks (53), Rilynn Titus (56) and Melodie Smith (59) all posted career-best scores as the four scoring golfers. Hannah Huffaker’s 60 was needed to decide the meet and Ashlee Herr posted a non-counting 64.

Clarksville’s Hannah Wangsness was the runner-up medalist with a 49.
