HARRIS — It was a great day for golf with temperatures in the 70s and light winds for the MHSAA Upper Peninsula Division 1 Final – and Marquette’s boys played up to it.

The Sentinels backed up last year’s title as they ended Wednesday with a first-place 295 strokes, finishing ahead of second-place Escanaba at 314 and third-place Houghton with 316. Gladstone finished fourth with 317 and Sault Ste. Marie was fifth with 322.

Marquette junior Seve Swanson had the best day of all in the field as he posted a score of 70 with four birdies.

“The depth of our roster was the key to success today,” Marquette coach Ben Smith said. “Everyone stepped up, and our seniors set the tone and (I’m) just happy for our players.”

Swanson had to use some damage control after a double bogey on the 14th hole. He bounced back with a birdie and three pars to finish the round.

Marquette senior Boden Moore, the 2025 medalist, scored a 72, highlighted by an eagle on the 11th hole – a 501-yard par 5 – and a pair of birdies on holes 9 and 18. Senior teammate Jack Pond carded a 74.

Kingsford senior Owen Edwards tied for sixth, posting a score of 76 with a pair of birdies on holes 6 and 17. The Flivvers placed seventh in the 14-team field with a 333. Dominic Grenfell contributed an 82, followed by Jordan Bray, 86, and Owen Olkkonen, 89.

West Iron placed 11th and Iron Mountain 12th.

The Wykons’ scores were Jared Pietila, 82; Colin Fritz, 84; Dominic Mottes, 90; and Mason Ahola, 92.

Iron Mountain was led by Tim Recla, 85; Max White, 87; Brayden Kassin, 90; and Louis Fiorucci, 97.
