Other team scores in the event were Laona-Wabeno in third with 343, Florence with 382 and Goodman-Pembine with 441. 

The Bluejays also competed in Marathon on Monday. The team finished in third place in that meet with a team score of 352. Tomahawk and Marathon finished first and second, with 340 and 345, respectively. Polcaster led Three Lakes in scoring with a nine-over 80 to take third. Lurvey tied for ninth individually with an 88 and Wallschlaeger finished right behind his teammate in a tie for 11th. Klein and Owen Liebscher rounded out the scores with a 95 and 99, respectively.
