The Girls’ 14 & Unders found Maddi Moltich from Sheridan, MT, as their gold medalist after her smooth display of 76-79=155 earned her a 5-shot victory over Clare Jensen from Billings, MT, and alone in third was Cecilia Fornshell also from Billings.
The Boys’ 14 & Under squad featured tournament low scores from champion Colin Jensen from Billings, MT, whose spectacular 69-68=137 was 3 shots clear of Sawyer Gentry from Livingston, MT, and his younger brother Stuart Gentry who earned solo third place honors.
