Menominee Nation/Gresham golfers place in Cecil scramble, follow conference title win
Menominee Nation/Gresham put two lineups in the top eight at Cecil, reinforcing a spring run that included a first conference title and another invitational win.
Menominee Nation/Gresham golfers kept their spring surge rolling at Golden Sands Golf Course in Cecil, where two co-op entries finished among the top eight in a 32-team scramble from 11 schools. Menominee Nation/Gresham 1 took fifth with a 70, and Menominee Nation/Gresham 2 placed eighth with a 73, showing the program had enough depth to put multiple groups into contention on the same day.
The strongest round in the field came from Wittenberg-Birnamwood’s George Seegmiller and Roman Johnson, who finished fourth with a 69. Just behind them, Menominee Nation/Gresham 1 stayed in the upper tier at 70, while Lena 1 tied for seventh at 71. Menominee Nation/Gresham 2 was only a few shots farther back at 73, a tight spread that put several area teams within striking distance on the par-71 layout.
The Cecil results fit into a much larger run for the Menominee Nation/Gresham co-op. The program won what appears to be its first boys golf conference title on May 5 at Maple Hills Golf Course in Wittenberg-Birnamwood, posting a 344 to edge Amherst by three strokes. Gabe Boivin led that conference breakthrough with an 83, while Allex Mahl and Elliott Penass each shot 85 and Anikohsaeh Corn added a 91.
Coach Robert Burr said the Menominee Nation and Gresham partnership has been in place for roughly six to eight years, formed after numbers fell at both schools. He also said he checked with community members and former coaches, and none remembered the program winning a conference title before this spring.
The co-op has backed up that breakthrough with results across different courses and formats. Menominee Nation/Gresham also won the Marion Invitational at J&B Clover Greens in Marion with a 323, finishing ahead of the host team and Wittenberg-Birnamwood. In that victory, Mahl carded a 77, Penass a 79, Corn an 82 and Boivin an 85.
Taken together, the conference title, the Marion win and the Cecil scramble finishes point to a program that is no longer relying on a single standout score. Menominee Nation/Gresham is placing multiple golfers near the top in fields that stretch across northeast Wisconsin, and that kind of balance is what turns a good season into a statement year.
