JANESVILLE — Beloit Turner junior Portia Segerstrom cracked the top ten with a steady stretch of golf over the final five holes as she finished eighth at a nine-team mini meet hosted by the Trojans at Glen Erin Golf Club on Tuesday morning.
The meet, the lone one of the season that Turner hosts, was held under semi-clear skies and comfortable temperatures on the course off Airport Rd.

Clinton’s best golfer was sophomore Emma Ahlert, who finished in a tie for 18th with a 55, helped out by shooting par on the eighth hole.
