The Division III state championship is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, May 11-12, at Incline Village’s Championship Course.

Competing in a field that included 21 schools and 116 golfers, the Highlanders finished ninth overall and third among DIII teams in an all-division invitational hosted by Whittell at Edgewood Tahoe this past Friday.

Incline junior Mitchell Cornell tied with Truckee’s Cody Tilton with the second-lowest score of the tournament, both with 74s. Addison Gallagher of Tokay (Calif.) earned tournament medalist honors with a 73.



The Highlanders posted a team score of 450 among their top five performers, with Dylan Smith carding an 82, Bryan Golombik 84, Johnny Lockhardt 98, Peter Larson 112 and Brandon Swick 123.

Division I-A schools swept the top four spots, with Elko claiming the team win with a low score of 418. The Indians were followed by Truckee (419), Spring Creek (422) and Fallon (426).



White Pine was the top Division III school and fifth overall, at 433, while Battle Mountain was the second DIII school and sixth overall at 441.
