Perhaps it was appropriate that the two Coloradans competing in the Women’s NCAA Division II nationals were paired together for Saturday’s final round in Findlay, Ohio.
Competing in the same threesome, Alex Trask of William Jewell College in Missouri (and Commerce City) finished 17th and Mary Weinstein of Regis University (and Highlands Ranch) placed 22nd in their season finales.
Trask (pictured), a junior from the Denver School of Technology and Science, closed with a 5-over-par 77 on Saturday to post a 24-over-par 312 total, which was 17 strokes behind champion Marie Coors of St. Leo. Trask made three birdies in the final round.
Weinstein, winner of two Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado majors and the 5A girls state high school title in 2016, shared the lead after round 1. The freshman closed with a 79, making one birdie in the final round to check in at 314.
Meanwhile, the second day of the Women’s NCAA Division I nationals was canceled due to inclement weather in Sugar Grove, Ill. The tournament to determine the individual champion will now be reduced from 72 to 54 holes, still concluding on Monday.
Jennifer Kupcho of Westminster, a sophomore at Wake Forest, shares fifth place at 74, sitting two strokes out of the lead. For more on how Kupcho fared in round 1, CLICK HERE.
