The Rochester boys golf team competed in Day 1 of the 1A District Tournament at Tumwater Valley yesterday. It was a great day for golf with 70 athletes from 13 schools competing for a spot in the top 35 to advance to Day 2. We are excited to share that Clayton Knutson (89) and Cash Edminster (90) both qualified for Day 2! They are in great position to make a run at the top 14 for a state bid. A special acknowledgement to Boden Grimm and Darin Ware who had fantastic rounds, both shooting a 93 and missing the cut off by only one stroke. With big progress from Wesley Dahl and several promising underclassmen, the future is incredibly bright for Rochester Golf. Good luck to Clayton and Cash on the course today!
