Minnewaska sophomore Brett Buckingham won his third straight West Central Conference meet medal Tuesday and fourth on the season to help the Lakers remain unbeaten in six WCC meets.
Buckingham fired a 38 at GreyStone Golf Club in Sauk Centre before carding a 37 only a few hours later at Melrose. The Lakers were eight shots lower than second-place BOLD at Sauk Centre and won by 14 shots at Melrose.
Minnewaska freshman Esten Stensrud and Zach Maurer of Benson/KMS tied for third in the opener and Stensrud also tied for fourth at Melrose with Yellow Medicine East’s Mitch McCosh. Montevideo’s David VanRavensway tied for second at Melrose.
The Lakers (10 a.m.) and Morris/Chokio-Alberta (2:30 p.m.) host the next WCC doubleheader on Friday.
