Standouts and Individual Highlights
Medalist honors went to Claudia Jenny of Edgerton, who shot a sharp 39 to lead the field. Lakeside sophomore Bella Roman had a strong showing as well, finishing in eighth place with a tidy 46. Jefferson sophomore Amelia Roehl tied for ninth with a 47, another steady round for the young golfer.
On the Lakeside side, the team’s scoring was rounded out by senior Mya Duddeck (48), senior Annaliese Bergum (49), and senior Jeru Canales (63). Jefferson’s support came from freshman Miranda Bilau (51) and seniors Alyce Schultz (57) and Zofia Raduege (58). Cambridge was paced by Sophia Nelson with a 56.
What Made the Difference
Several small storylines shaped the day. Lakeside posted a top-five team finish with a 206 despite being short a player because of illness — a testament to depth and resilience. Duddeck delivered her best round of the year, notably keeping any hole from ballooning into more than a double bogey. That kind of damage control is golden at mini meets.
Roman’s tee shots gave her an edge off the tee, setting up easier approaches and shorter putts, while Bergum returned to the lineup after a family trip and immediately contributed with a solid 49. Canales battled through swing inconsistencies but showed grit and perseverance to chip in where needed.
Jefferson’s performance leaned on youth and experience blending together. Roehl and Bilau supplied the low scores needed to keep the team competitive, with Bilau’s 51 a strong contribution from a freshman looking more comfortable with each outing.
What Fans and Players Should Watch Next
Keep an eye on Lakeside’s juniors like Roman and the continuing progress of Duddeck — both could be key pieces as the season unfolds. Jefferson’s younger players, particularly Bilau, are gaining valuable tournament minutes that will pay dividends later in the season. And for anyone tracking medalist form, Claudia Jenny’s 39 is a marker that others will need to respond to in upcoming events.
Quick Takeaways for Golf Enthusiasts
- Course management matters: Duddeck’s round showed how avoiding big numbers keeps scores low.
- Power off the tee helps: Roman’s driving set up scoring chances all day.
- Depth wins meets: Lakeside finished fifth while missing a player — depth kept them competitive.
