After sending one golfer to state last year, the Exeter-Milligan-Friend girls’ golf team is all going this year.

EMF girls shot 384 at Hidden Valley Oct. 7 to finish as the District C-1 runner-up and qualify for state.

“We all improved on the back nine and finished strong,” Coach Lori Klooz said.

The Bobcats had three golfers earn individual medals. Abby Klooz finished third with a 92. Abbie Milton, who qualified as an individual last year, was seventh with a 94, and Kmila Benitz placed ninth with a 97.

Dylen Collier shot a 101, and Hadley Sladek rounded out the team with a 118.

The Class C state tournament is Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 14 and 15, at Lake Maloney Golf Club in North Platte. Rounds start at 9 a.m. each day.

On Oct. 3, EMF shot 405 to win the Lincoln Christian Invite at Hidden Valley. Klooz won as an individual with a 90. Milton shot 95 and took third place.
