The Mount Ayr girl’s golf team will keep their season going another week as the Raiderettes punched their ticket to the 2025 Class 1A state meet this week.
The Raiderettes won the Class 1A Regional Final meet in Anita last week, beating out six other scoring teams at the meet.
The Raiders dominated the field of teams with a team score of 384 points. East Union also advanced to state to give the Pride of Iowa Conference a pair of state teams. The Eagles had a team score of 403.
Mount Ayr’s Jaylee Shaffer was the medalist at the meet with a score of 73 for the 18-hole course. SW Valley’s Miaya Fourez was the medalist runner-up with a score of 86.
Mount Ayr had a second top-10 finisher as Olivia Huntington placed eighth with a score of 94. Kamryn Willis was 23rd with a score of 107. Other Mount Ayr scores were Alana Doollittle 110, Izzy Gilbertson 111, and Abby Larson 117.
The Class 1A state meet will be held in Marshalltown at the American Legion Golf Course on Thursday, May 29, and Friday, May 30. Tee times for Thursday will be 9:00 a.m. shotgun start, and on Friday at 8:30 a.m.
Admission for the state meet is $10 and tickets must be purchased through Bound. Spectators must scan their ticket for a wristband upon arrival at the course. Outside food and beverages will not be allowed at state golf sites.
Spectators cannot communicate with a golfer on the course until the golfer has submitted their official scorecard to the scoring officials. (Walking immediately alongside a player is deemed to be communication.)
Spectators may cheer, applaud, and offer words of encouragement to golfers; however, spectators must adhere to golf etiquette when doing so. Spectators are allowed to assist a player in looking for a lost ball, but at no time provide any type of instruction.
Spectators are asked to refrain from the use of cell phones on the course but may use them in/around the clubhouse. Spectators disrupting play, in the opinion of the Rules Committee, will be removed from the course. Competitors may be disqualified if in violation of this rule.
Spectators should remain in the rough or on the cart paths and always keep parallel to the golfers. Smoking and alcohol consumption are not allowed during IGHSAU-sanctioned events. Please make sure the course management and spectators are made aware of this.
