Flathead freshman Jillian Wynne was the next-best finisher for the Bravettes at 193, finishing outside the top 30. Flathead was seventh as a team. Glacier’s Kate Trunkle (185) tied for 20th and was the Wolfpack’s top performer.

Glacier teammates Sam Manaker and Keaton Cassidy were the top boys finisher from Kalispell, sharing 19th place with a two-day total of 160, while their teammate Will Salonen carded a 161. Glacier finished fifth as a team.

Bozeman won the team titles for both boys and girls.
