Sidney sophomore Alyssa Dowling qualified for her second state golf tournament with a third-place finish Wednesday, May 20, at the Class 1A Regional Golf Final at Crestwood Hills in Anita.
The Sidney girls finished seventh in the team race, ending the season for Dowling’s teammates. The season also ended Wednesday for the Sidney boys as Gabe Casey ended 42nd at a Class 1A District Tournament at the Council Bluffs County Club.
Dowling posted an 88, trailing only Westwood’s Brielle Pike and Bristol Pike, who led the Rebels to the regional final title with a 377. Earlham also qualified with a 399, edging West Monona by a single stroke.
The Cowgirls posted a team score of 426 to finish seventh.
Addy Foster put up Sidney’s second best score of the tournament with a 108 and Gabi Jacobs posted a 112. Ashlyn Hayes completed Sidney’s lineup with a 118.
Jacobs and Casey played the final rounds of golf in their Sidney careers.

Clarinda’s Taylor Rasmussen and Addy Weinreich claimed the top two spots in the field Wednesday, May 20, at the Class 2A Regional Girls Golf Final, held at Lincoln Valley Golf Course in State Center.
Rasmussen posted a 77 and Weinreich a 79, both earning their second straight trip to the Class 2A Girls State Golf Championships, which takes place Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29, at American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown.
Rasmussen and Weinreich won’t be joined by their teammates, however, or anyone from Shenandoah. The Cardinals posted a 357, finishing third in the six-team field. Roland-Story won the tournament with a 346 and Grundy Center’s 355 was two strokes better than Clarinda for the final qualifying spot.
Shenandoah’s Sarah Pickens posted an 85 to finish seventh, two strokes behind the sixth and final individual qualifier.
Pickens’ teammate, Alaina Anderson, ended in 13th with an 18-hole score of 92.
That ends the season for the Fillies, a little more than a week after a runner-up finish at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournament. Each athlete on the Shenandoah roster is set to return next season.
Clarinda’s other two scorers were Elle Nelson with a 95 and a 106 from Jalon Olson. Maggie Carlson finished with a 131 and Victoria Schutt-Andersen a 136 to make up the rest of Clarinda’s lineup.
That was the final round in the golf career for Carlson and Olson, who both exit the program.
Rasmussen has two more rounds left on her outstanding golf career while Weinreich completes her sophomore season with her second state bid.
