ANKENY -- Cedar Rapids Jefferson senior Megan Furnish enjoyed a much better round on Day 2 of the Class 4A state golf tournament Wednedsay, but so did just about everyone else at Otter Creek.
Furnish fired a 5-over-par 76 and finished the tournament with a 36-hole total of 159, three shots behind the medalist. She matched the third-best overall score in the tournament, but officially placed fourth due to tiebreaker rules.
Cedar Rapids Washington sophomore MJ Kamin shot a 10-over 81 Wednesday and tied for 12th place with a 36-hole score of 167.
Payton Minear of Waukee claimed medalist honors at 156. Allison Rolinger of Cedar Falls finished second at 158, with Furnish and Jasmine Wyzgowski of Waukee next at 159.
Furnish shot an 83 in the opening round Tuesday, so she improved by seven strokes Wednesday. Minear, the medalist, went from an 86 on Tuesday to a 1-under-par 70 on Wednesday to walk away with the individual title.
Furnish collected one birdie, 12 pars, four bogeys and one double-bogey on Wednesday.
Kamin posted two triple-bogeys Wednesday during her 81, which followed an 86 on Tuesday. She had two birdies, eight pars and six bogeys.
Waukee won the team championship for the first time in school history. The Warriors had a four-girl score of 298 on Wednesday, the first time a team has shot under 300 in one round since the tournament expanded to 36 holes in 1977.
Cedar Falls, the defending state champion, finished second this year.
