WEST GLACIER — Glacier’s junior varsity teams were able to hold off a charge from the Flathead JV and Columbia Falls’ varsity squads to win both the boys and girls legs of the Columbia Falls Invitational Tuesday at Glacier View Golf Club.
The Wolfpack boys, which had four top 10 percormances, led by Riley Nelson, who finished third with a 14-over-par 83. Cody Decker (seventh, 95), Hayden Schleep (seventh, 95) and Nick Vanderbeek (10th, 97) each led to the team score of 367, two strokes better than Flathead’s “Black” JV team.
The black squad was led by Ascher Kornick, who finished second with a 78. Russel Jensen finished fourth with an 88 and Toth Menendez finished fifth to lead the orange team with a 91.
