The Highline Thunderbirds golf team finished eighth, out of the eight teams that competed, in the Bellevue Invitational.

At the Bellevue golf course, Northern Idaho took first place in the competition for both men and women participants. They posted a score of 585 for the men and 481 for the women. 

For the Thunderbirds men’s team, Tyler Alwart scored 78-81 and tied for 30th place; Kai When scored 85-83 and came in 40th place; Tyler Fullerton scored 83-86 and came in 41st place; and Derek Kapana scored 91-82 and came in 43rd place. 

On the women’s side, Thunderbird Anjali Nadu scored 97-92 and came in 17th place while teammate Jadyn Shaw scored 119-111 and came in 23rd place. 

Despite the finish the team got more experience and will improve in the next coming weeks and that is all you can ask for in your student athletes. 

The next time Highline takes the green will be May 8-9 at the Avondale golf course in Hayden, Idaho.
