C-M’s Brenner, Baxter’s Koehler advance to final round of regional golf

PLEASANTVILLE — Two area golfers extended their seasons, but the rest of the trio of golf teams ended their spring campaigns during the opening round of the Class 1A Region 4A golf tournament.

Colfax-Mingo’s Lily Brenner was fourth and Baxter’s Karlee Koehler placed fifth to advance.

Colfax-Mingo’s team shot 403 at Pleasantville Golf & Country Club but was seven shots back of runner-up North Mahaska (396) and Martensdale-St. Marys won the regional meet with a 348.

The top two teams and the top six individual advanced to the 1A Region 4 final, which will be played at 10 a.m. on Wednesday at Prairie Knolls Golf Course in New Sharon.

A third team would have advanced if host Melcher-Dallas would have finished in the top two, but the Saints did not have enough golfers for a team score.

Southeast Warren (408), Baxter (432) and Lynnville-Sully (440) completed the field. Lamoni and Mormon Trail also did not have enough golfers for a team score.

Martensdale-St. Marys had the top three golfers in the individual standings.

Brenner led the area golfers with a career-best 86. All five Tigerhawks posted career-best scores as Lily Webster (101), Dakota Allen (105) and Chloe Clements (111) had the other counting scores.

Webster finished in a tie for ninth overall and Faith Allen (115) turned in a non-counting score.

Koehler’s career-best 92 led the Bolts and placed her fifth overall. Klaire Shanks (106), Rilynn Titus (109) and Ashlee Herr (125) had the other counting scores. Melodie Smith (132) turned in a non-counting score.

Herr and Smith posted career-best scores.

Penelope Robinson led the Hawks in 12th with a career-best 104. Audrey Kaldenberg (career-best 106), Brooke Hardeman (112) and Jakeira Hay (career-best 118) had the other counting scores.

It was Hay’s 18-hole debut. Olivia Beyer (122) and Hannah Parent (128) posted career-best scores and were non-counting scores.

Beyer’s career-best score leads L-S to fifth at SICL tournament

OSKALOOSA — Beyer finished 10th and Brenner was 15th, but the Lynnville-Sully girls golf team placed fifth and Colfax-Mingo was eighth at the South Iowa Cedar League tournament on Monday.

The Hawks shot 455 and the Tigerhawks turned in a 472 at Oskaloosa Golf Course.

“Olivia Beyer had an awesome round, breaking 50 for nine holes and breaking 100 for 18 for the first time,” L-S head golf coach Brenna Hamborg said. “All of the girls golfed well, shooting season lows. We also had a super nice day to golf.”

North Mahaska won the conference championship with a 384. The Warhawks were six shots better than BGM (390) and Iowa Valley (434) and English Valleys (445) finished ahead of L-S in third and fourth, respectively.

Keota (465), Montezuma (468), HLV/TC (472) and Sigourney (491) completed the field.

Beyer turned in a career-best 98 to lead the Hawks in 10th. Kaldenberg (106), Hardeman (123) and Parent (128) had the other counting scores.

Brenner shot a 105 in 15th to lead the Tigerhawks. Dakota Allen (118), Webster (122) and Cadence Linn (130) had the other counting scores. It was the 18-hole debut for Linn.
