Pros take district golf title
of leader Wyatt Browne of Enterprise.
Fuller’s teammates also shot well. Shel-
don Lenz shot a 100 on day one, Char-
lie Knowles a 116 and Bridger Walker
a 124.
The Prospector girls didn’t have
enough team members to post a team
score. Senior Audry Walker shot a
109 on day one of competition. Grant
Union’s other girls golfer, Layla
Wenick, shot a 128 on day one.
Day two provided a bit of intrigue
as second-place Vale and third-place
Heppner bested their day one scores by
shooting 438 and 442, respectively. It
wasn’t enough to hold off the Prospec-
tor boys, however, as they shot a 433 to
fi nish with 877 team points and win the
district championship.
Vale fi nished second with 900 points
and Heppner fi nished third with 906.
Enterprise fi nished the meet in fourth
place with 913 team points.
Grant Union’s Fuller fi nished day
two with a score of 95. Fuller’s two-
day score of 189 netted him a tie for
fourth place in the individual stand-

The
Grant Union boys golf
team claimed its fi rst dis-
trict championship during
16-year head coach Ron
Lundbom’s tenure on Tuesday, May 10,
at the Nixy District Golf Champion-
ships in Pendleton.
The championships were contested
over two days and started on Monday,
May 9.
John Day ended the fi rst day of the
boys competition with 434 team points,
which was good enough for the lead
heading into the second and fi nal day.
Eventual runner-up Vale fi nished the
fi rst day within striking distance of the
Pros with 462 team points. Heppner fi n-
ished the fi rst day in third place with
464 points.
Grant Union’s Tanler Fuller fi n-
ished the fi rst day of competition in
fourth place individually, shooting a 94.
Fuller fi nished the day six strokes back
ings. Lenz and Knowles fi nished within
one stroke of one another on day two.
Knowles shot a 108 and Lenz shot a
109. Walker shot a 131 on the fi nal day
of the tournament.
Walker and Wenick, the Grant Union
girls, had strong fi nishes on the second
day of competition. Walker shot a 124
on day two and Wenick fi nished with a
131.
The boys win marks the fi rst time
Grant Union will send a complete boys
golf team to the state championships.
Lundbom said he knew the boys had
a chance to win district and “after day
one it looked good.”
“Strange things can happen, but we
held on on day two to bring home the
district title and tie for fourth place
individually,” Lundbom added.
Lundbom says to the best of his
memory, this is the fi rst district cham-
pionship team Grant Union has had in
boys golf. “We have been second three
times and sent two individuals to state
during my time as coach, but this is
something special,” he said.
ATHENA — The Grant
Union track team is sending 11
competitors to the state track
meet following a strong show-
ing at the 2A Special District
5 track meet at Weston-McE-
wen Track in Athena on Fri-
day, May 13.
The Prospector boys fi n-
ished with 124 points to win
the district championship,
edging out host Weston-McE-
wen, which fi nished second
with 122 team points.
Weston-McEwen
and
Echo/Stanfi eld fi nished in a tie
for the girls district champi-
onship with 112 points. Grant
Union fi nished third with
89.5 team points. Pilot Rock
and Heppner were right on
the heels of the Grant Union
girls, fi nishing fourth and fi fth
with 87 and 86 team points,
respectively.
The Grant Union boys will
send eight competitors to the
state meet, led by seniors Jus-
tin Hodge and Luke Jackson,
who will compete in three
events each. Hodge picked up
district championships in the
100 meter dash, javelin and
4x100 relay. Jackson won dis-
trict championships in the 200
meter dash and 4x100 relay
and was the runner-up in the
400 meter race. 4x100 relay
teammates Cashton Wheeler
and Mason Morris will join
Hodge and Jackson in defend-
ing Grant Union’s 4x100 2021
state championship at the state
meet.
Morris also qualifi ed for
the state meet in the long
jump, placing second at dis-
trict in the event. Also punch-
ing a ticket to the state track
meet for the Pros was Quinn
Larson, who placed second in
the pole vault. Grant Union’s
lone “wild card” qualifi er —
reserved for selections outside
top-two fi nishers — was Rid-
dick Hutchison, who qualifi ed
for the meet following a third-
place fi nish in the javelin.
Andrew Hunt and Brady Dole
will make the trip to state as
alternates for the 4x100 relay
team.
The Lady Pros qualifi ed
three for state, all in fi eld
events. All three were dis-
trict runners-up, with Mor-
gan Walker placing second
in discus, Katelyn Hughes
second in javelin and Mor-
gan Randleas second in the
long jump.
Grant Union head track
coach Sonna Smith said the
fi rst-place boys fi nish came
about due to her team step-
ping up following the loss of a
score in one of the fi eld events.
“It was crucial that everybody
left in the meet tried to move
up as much as they could, so
I was really impressed with
their eff ort.”
Smith said the girls out-
performed her expectations.
“I thought we were going to
come in fi fth and we came in
third,” she said. “Third, fourth
and fi fth were all really close
together. There was a spread
of three and a half points
between all those places.”
Smith feels her team’s best
chances to place at state lie
with the 4x100 relay team and
individual events that the relay
team’s members will compete
in.
“Our 4x100 relay team is
seeded second, so they have a
very good chance of placing,”
she said. “Justin Hodge and
Luke Jackson, who are also on
the relay team, have an excel-
lent chance of placing in the
100, 200 and 400. And then
Mason Morris has an excel-
lent chance of placing in long
jump.”
The team now gears up
to head to the 2A State Track
Meet at the University of Ore-
gon’s renowned Hayward
Field in Eugene on Thursday,
May 19, through Saturday,
May 21. Field events start at
10 a.m., and track events start
at 12:30 p.m.
