Esvelt, a sophomore, finished 18 over for the 36-hole championship, after shooting a tournament-best 79 on Sunday. Lucy Mitchum was CBC’s second-highest finisher, tying for 10th at 36 over, as CBC finished 15 strokes behind Spokane, but bested third-place Southwestern Oregon by one stroke.

The Columbia Basin men finished eighth out of nine teams, and were led by Christian Maddox, who took 27th at 17 over.
