On Tuesday, Waconia traveled to Ridges for an invitational and finished in the middle of the pack.

Riley Baisch played well, firing a 73, Ryder Haskins and Jadan Ford 82, Evan Marsden 83, Gavin Schneider 87, Karsen Herman 88.

On Wednesday, the Wildcats had their second conference meet in New Prague and finished fourth. Ryder Haskins, Jadan Ford, and Karsen Herman all had 79's, Riley Baisch and Evan Marsden 80, Gavin Schneider 83.
