Capitol Mini-Meet, April 15
LAKE MILLS — Columbus’ Austin Leitha was the medalist at the third Capitol mini meet, shooing a 41 on the Par 37 course. Cambridge edged Columbus by a stroke for the team title (179-180). New Glarus was third at 188, and Belleville-Monticello was seventh at 214.
For New Glarus, senior captain Jared Martinson had the big day, carding a 44 to lead the Knights.
“He’s been working really hard, especially on his short game,” New Glarus coach Jonathon Goodness said. “I’m proud to see it paying off.”
Martinson’s shot of the day came on the Par 4 third hole when he sank a 30-foot chip.
“He lined it up, hit it, rolled and stuck the pin,” Goodness said. “Jared played really well.”
Matt Hach carded a 47 for New Glarus, with Ty Ready finishing at 47 and Jacob Krantz at 52.
“I was impressed with all of our guys,” Goodness said. “There are a lot of trees and tight fairways. If you get above the hole you’re in trouble.”

Columbus leads the conference in mini-meet points with four, while Cambridge is at six and New Glarus stands in third place with 10.
