Monte boys tie for conference golf lead

First-place finishes in both conference meets the past week pulled the Montevideo boys into a tie for first place with Ben­son/KMS for the West Central Conference South lead.

Two meets remain on the conference schedule — at Madison on May 19 and at Benson on May 21.

Thursday’s win at The Crossings was crucial to the T-Hawks’ title hopes. Monte­video and Ben­son/KMS tied for first place, but the T-Hawks won the tiebreaker using Tyler Sachariason’s fifth-place team score of 42.

Phillip Ward was the individual medalist at Atwater on Tuesday with an even-par 36.
