WEST GLACIER — The Columbia Falls boys bested half of the Western A in the first of two host golf invitationals this week, beating Frenchtown, Ronan and Corvallis on Tuesday at Glacier View Golf Course.

The Wildcats placed four golfers in the top five finishers, led by Tyler Langton’s second-place 78, to win by 32 strokes.

Glacier junior varsity golfer Sam Manaker scored a 77 to win the event and help the Woldpack finish in second place as a team.

Browning’s Jill SureChief bested Frenchtown’s Courtney Ockler by two strokes to win girls medalist honors. SureChief finished with an 80 and teammate Mikayla LaBuff a 93 to score two golfers in the top three, but Browning didn’t have enough golfers for a team score.

Frenchtown placed three golfers in the top five to win the team title with a score of 407. Columbia Falls’ Elizabeth Opalka was the top finisher for the host Wildkats, placing ninth, and Flathead junior varsity golfer Sheridan Stroop was the top local finisher, placing eighth with a 112.

Columbia Falls will host its second tournament of the week on Thursday at Meadow Lake Resort, hosting the other half of the Western A.
