Bigfork senior Colter Mahlum capped an impressive prep career with an undefeated run at the Class B/C state tennis tournament.
Mahlum defeated Ronan’s Hunter Shima 7-6 (5), 6-1 to win his first singles championship on Thursday in Missoula. Mahlum’s first-place finish helped Bigfork place third as a team.
Mahlum was the state runner-up in 2010, when the Vikings won the team title, and was eliminated in quarterfinals last year.
Another Bigfork senior, Sara Keenan, wrapped up her final prep golf tourney with a seventh place finish this week. Keenan shot 85-80 at the Class B state tournament at Eaglerock Golf Course (par 72) in Billings. Keenan tied for fifth last year.
On the boys side, Bigfork’s Lars Gittings placed 12th, carding 84-77 at Pryor Creek Golf Club (par 71) in Huntley.
