Girls do well despite rainy tourney

Despite steady rain there were several outstanding rounds at the final day of the girls state golf meet at the Jester Park course near Granger. Christi Athas of Eldora-New Providence had the lowest score of the tournament in earning medallist honors in class 1A. Athas fired a second round 74 for a two-day total of one-51. She says the girl she played with pushed her to do better as she kept sinking birdie putts. Grinnell won the class 2A team title. It was the third team crown for the Tigers and long-time coach Arvilla Altemeir who says each championship is a “great one.”
