After a strong showing during Day 1 of the 6A state tournament at Riverbend Golf Course on Monday defending state champion Lone Peak is in great position to make a run at a repeat state title.
Lone Peak shot a team score of 306 and will enjoy a 25-stroke lead over second place Weber heading into Tuesday’s final round.
The Knights had three players shoot in the 70s, with its fourth golfer shooting an 84 during the opening day.
Region 4 medalist Saydie Wagner led the way for Lone Peak in Day 1 as the freshman was the only golfer to shoot under par with a 1-under 71. She birdied No. 18 to post a red number.
American Fork’s Lily Shin sits in second place after firing an even-par 72, with Weber’s Remi Rawlings in third with a 73.
Rounding out the top five are Lone Peak’s Aadyn Long at 2-over and Adley Nelson at 5-over. Long, a sophomore, was the 6A runner-up a year ago, but she’ll have some work ahead of her on Tuesday to fight back and push Wagner for the 6A individual title.
