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.

Which is to say, the Wake Forest sophomore was consistently in or around the lead on Friday.

Kupcho (pictured), who won the NCAA Regional in Athens, Ga., last week, was in the outright lead with two holes left in her first round Friday in Sugar Grove, Ill., but had to settle for being two strokes out of the top spot after going double bogey-bogey on her final two holes in cold, rainy and windy conditions at Rich Harvest Farms.

The three-time CWGA Player of the Year, who ranks No. 3 among the nation’s female college players, shot a 2-over-par 74. That leaves her tied for fifth place, two behind co-leaders August Kim of Purdue and Elodie Van Dievoet of Michigan.

Kupcho, who placed sixth in the NCAA finals as a freshman, finished round 1 with six birdies, six bogeys and a double bogey. Friday ended her streak of 12 straight sub-par college rounds.

Kupcho owns three individual wins this college season.

The stroke-play portion of the Women’s NCAA DI nationals continues through Monday, with the final round being televised by the Golf Channel.

Meanwhile, at the Women’s NCAA Division II finals in Findlay, Ohio, two Coloradans will go into the final round in the top 20 individually.

Freshman Mary Weinstein of Regis University and junior Alex Trask of William Jewell College in Missouri share 19th place after Friday’s third round.

Weinstein, winner of two Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado majors and the 5A girls state high school title in 2016, shot her second consecutive 9-over-par 81. Trask, meanwhile, posted a 78 on Friday. Both stand at 19-over-par 235, 11 strokes behind co-leaders Ann Parmerter of Dallas Baptist and Marie Coors of St. Leo.

The tournament will conclude on Saturday.

Weinstein (pictured), winner of two Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado majors and the 5A girls state high school title in 2016, shared the individual lead after round 1, but a 9-over-par 81 on Thursday left her tied for 10th place at the halfway point of the championship. At 10-over 154, she trails leader Ann Parmerter of Dallas Baptist University by eight strokes. No one has matched or broken par through two rounds of the 72-hole event.

Weinstein, the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado’s female player of the year in 2016, made four birdies on Thursday, but also carded seven bogeys and three double bogeys.

Meanwhile, the other Coloradan competing in the tournament, Alex Trask of William Jewell College in Missouri, likewise struggled on Thursday, shooting an 82 that dropped her from eighth to 25th place. She stands at 157 at the halfway point of the tournament. Trask posted one birdie, four bogeys, two double bogeys and one triple bogey on Thursday.

Weinstein (pictured), winner of two Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado majors and the 5A girls state high school title in 2016, shot a 1-over-par 73 along with three other players. The freshman made two birdies and three bogeys on the day.

Weinstein originally wasn’t in the field for the DII Finals, but when another player had to drop out, the Coloradan was added. She’s the first Regis University women’s golfer to compete in the national championship tournament, which runs through Saturday.

Meanwhile, Trask carded a round of 3-over 75 on Wednesday, making four birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey.

The Wake Forest sophomore (pictured) finished Tuesday’s second round of the Athens (Ga.) Regional where she started it — in the lead. Kupcho fired a 2-under-par 70, which means she’ll take a one-stroke lead into Wednesday’s final round. The three-time CWGA Player of the Year stands at 6-under 138 for 36 holes.

Already winner of two individual college titles this season, Kupcho recorded four birdies and two bogeys on Tuesday. With her Wake Forest squad unlikely to qualify as a team for the NCAA Finals — it’s in 15th place, and only the top six finishers will advance to the Finals, set for May 19-24 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill. — Kupcho will probably need to earn an individual berth. The top three individuals not on a qualifying team will advance to Rich Harvest Farms, and she’s obviously in good position to move on.

At other Women’s NCAA DI Regionals, the University of Colorado remains within striking distance of a team berth into Finals. The Buffs are in ninth place in Columbus, Ohio, five strokes out of the crucial sixth position. Brittany Fan is leading CU individually as she’s in 22nd place.

In the Albuquerque Regional, the University of Denver is in 14th place, 18 strokes out of the sixth spot. Mariell Bruun is pacing DU, standing 38th individually.

Meanwhile, Coloradan Hannah Wood, like Kupcho a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier last year, is in 19th place individually in the Lubbock (Texas) Regional. The Oklahoma junior has carded rounds of 75-72.

At the Women’s Division II Regionals, two Coloradans are in the top 10 individually. Alex Trask of William Jewell College is sixth in Canton, Ohio, and Mary Weinstein of Regis University is ninth in Wichita Falls, Texas. The top three teams and top three individuals not on those teams from each regional will advance to the DII nationals, scheduled for May 17-20 in Findlay, Ohio.

At the Women’s NCAA Division III Finals in Houston, Coloradan Mackenzie Cohen holds 10th place after an opening round of 76.

And at the Men’s NCAA Division II Regionals in Stockton, Calif., four Coloradans are in the top 10 individually with one round remaining. Trevor McKune of Colorado Mesa (66-68–134) holds third place and trails leader Trevor Lampson of California Baptist by three. Jake Ice of Colorado State-Pueblo (136) and Colin Prater of Colorado-Colorado Springs (136) share sixth place and Tanner Comes of UCCS (138) is eighth. Colorado State-Pueblo is the top Colorado-based team, sitting in 10th place. At least the top three teams and the top two individuals not on those teams will advance from the South Central/West Regional to the DII national finals, set for May 22-26 in Kissimmee, Fla.

The three-time CWGA Player of the Year shot a 4-under-par 68 to grab the individual lead in one of four NCAA DI regionals that began on Monday. The Wake Forest sophomore made seven birdies and three bogeys to set the standard in the Athens, Ga. Regional.

Kupcho (pictured), who has two individual wins to her credit this college season, holds a one-stroke over three players heading into the final two rounds of the tournament. At 69 are Lauren Stephenson of Alabama, Jillian Hollis of host Georgia and Sarah Burnham of Michigan State.

With the top six team finishers out of the 18-school field advancing to the NCAA Finals, Kupcho’s Wake Forest squad stands in 15th place. The top three individuals not on one of the qualifying teams also will make the Finals, which are set for May 19-24 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill.

Meanwhile, at other Women’s DI Regionals, the University of Colorado is in 10th place in Columbus Ohio, sitting four strokes behind the teams in the crucial sixth position. Freshman Robyn Choi is 12th individually with a 75.

And the University of Denver is 12th in the Albuquerque Regional, eight out of sixth place. Mariell Bruun and Jessica Dreesbeimdieke fired 75s to lead the way for the Pioneers, sharing 30th place individually.

And in Lubbock, Texas, Colorado State University golfer Katrina Prendergast fired a 74 and is in 16th place, while Highlands Ranch resident Hannah Wood posted a 75 and is tied for 26th place for Oklahoma.

Meanwhile, in NCAA Division II regional action, two Coloradans are in the top 10 after round 1. Alex Trask, who plays for William Jewell College in Missouri, carded a 73 and is in fifth place in Canton, Ohio. And Regis freshman Mary Weinstein, the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado’s female player of the year in 2016, holds down eighth place after a 75 in Wichita Falls, Texas. The top three teams and top three individuals not on those teams from each super regional will advance to the DII nationals, scheduled for May 17-20 in Findlay, Ohio.

And in the Men’s NCAA DII regionals, Trevor McKune of Colorado Mesa shares second place individually after carding a 6-under-par 66 in the South Central/West Regional in Stockton, Calif. After a seven-birdie day, McKune trails only Trevor Lampson of California Baptist, who posted a 62. The top Colorado-based team after round 1 is Colorado State-Pueblo, which is in eighth place in the 20-team field. At least the top three teams and the top two individuals not on those teams will advance from the South Central/West Regional to the DII national finals, set for May 22-26 in Kissimmee, Fla.
