Another Lincoln 8th grader, Aiden Hutschenreuter, shaved 10 strokes off his last meets score on his way to shooting an impressive 53. Also, Natalie Schroeder continued her steady scoring with a 59. Finally, Colter Borge completed his first ever golf meet. He gave it his best effort and enjoyed himself while doing it.
