State golf meet cut short for SW

By Becky Walz,

It wasn’t the full state golf tournament the South Winn boys golf team was hoping for earlier this week, as the thunderstorms throughout Iowa shortened the event to one day.
Getting on the course at Ames Golf & Country Club Monday, the Warriors finished with a one day total of 337 in eighth place, four strokes out of fifth place in the tight Class 1A race.
“I know that the boys were disappointed because they wanted another shot, and so were Coach (Glenna) Munuswamy and I, but we could not be prouder of this team and the way that they performed, not just at the state tournament, but throughout the entire season. With the way the season ended last year, we knew that we had a group that could potentially do some very special things, and the boys proved us right,” said Coach Mike Wenthold. “It was an incredible experience, one that I’m glad senior Jordan Baumler was able to close his career on. When the sting of cutting the meet short wears off, we’ll all look back at this very fondly.”
Cale Kleppe was the low scorer for the Warriors, shooting an 80, which was good enough for 18th overall. Braiden Todd closed out the season with an 83, while Carson Streeter carved out an 84. Closing out the team score with a 90 was Jackson Goltz. Jordan Baumler fashioned a 91 with Matson Winings coming through with a 94.
