Joseph Lucke placed first in the boys 14-15 age group, with a total score of 295' 10".

Their performances at the sectional competition may qualify them for the Team Championship, depending on how other youth place. The Team Championship will be held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis this fall in conjunction with a St. Louis Rams game.
