Also for Alter, Grant Tabar shot 76, T.J. Kreusch 77, Finn Grawe 84 and Grady Tabar 86.

Southeastern’s Hope Manning shot 76 and is in a four-way tie for the lead at the Division II girls tournament on the OSU Gray Course.

The Alter girls shot 379 and are in ninth place. Lauren Miller led the Knights with an 82. Lydia Dietz of Botkins is tied for 10th with an 80.

In Division III boys at NorthStar in Sunbury, Minster is sixth at 352 and Middletown Christian is eighth at 356. Josh Winhusen of MCS is tied fourth with a 77.
