All-Missota Conference honorable mention
After finishing dead last in the fourth (of five) Missota Conference meets last week, the Tigers rallied for a fifth place finish at the league finale played Monday, May 23, at the New Prague Golf Club.
That rebound helped coach Jon Holmes' team secure the sixth spot in the final eight-team league standings.
Host New Prague won the meet with 305 team strokes, followed by, Chanhassen 306, Chaska 308, Shakopee 326, Farmington 332, Holy Angels 337, Red Wing 340 and Northfield 345.
Tommy May finished as the low Tiger scorer with a 43-39 (82) performance. Tony Lalani and Cooper Loew were a stroke back at 83, followed by Erik Holmstrom 84, Matt Provost 87 and Jacob Hanson 89.
"We were pretty consistent from top to bottom to move up one place," Holmes said. "Our junior varsity won the meet and took fourth for the season."
It was a bittersweet day for May who led the Tiger pack but slipped from seventh to 12th in the individual conference rankings, a slide that cost him a spot on the prestigious all-conference team. The Tiger junior received all-league honorable mention.
Farmington junior varsity scores included Kevin Olund and Ryan Kelly 81, Mike Dalhed and Mitch Reed 83, Josh Cordes 89 and Trevor Hockert 95.
Wednesday the Tigers travel to Bellwood Oaks Golf Club in Hastings, the site of next week's Section 1AAA Championships, for a dual meet with Lakeville North. The first round of section play begins on Thursday, June 2.
