McKenna Montgomery finished 22^nd with a 217, shooting 110 Monday and 107 Tuesday.

Kollar finished 23^rd with 219, finishing at 118 Monday before dropping 17 shots to 101. Tuesday.

Tatyana Carlson of Lowry was the individual champion with a two-day score of 155, shooting a first-round 81 Monday and a 74 in the second round Tuesday.

Boulder City was the team champion with a cumulative two-day score of 744.

“Proud of the way the girls played this week,” Fernley coach Brian O’Neill said. “Schaffer’s Mill was a great venue for the event. They all did great off the tee and carried themselves well.”

“Their growth over their high school careers was apparent and it was very enjoyable working with them,” O’Neill said.
