Blooming Prairie senior Tommy Braaten shot a 71 at Waseca's Lakeside Course on Monday, tying a school record reached two other times, according to coach Cory Hendrickson.

Braaten's 71 equaled a mark set by Mike Ressler in 1987 and repeated by Steven Busho in 2004. Braaten earned the medalist honor Monday with his even-par score. Lucas Noble took fourth with a 77. Blooming Prairie shot 328 to finish second behind Waseca's 320. The meet was a tuneup for the Gopher Conference meet, scheduled for the same course this Thursday. The Awesome Blossoms will be trying to catch Maple River later this week. Hendrickson says the Eagles have a 12-stroke lead over BP based on regular season matches.

On the girls side, Blooming Prairie's Taylor Christianson shot 85 to win the medalist award. Jessica Ressler was sixth with 97.

Hendrickson said, "Today was a warm up for Thursday’s end-of-the-year Gopher Conference 18-hole tournament. Some of our golfers are starting to peak at the right time of the season and hopefully that continues through the conference and section meets over the next couple of weeks."
