2025 story: Junior Olivia Hilgerman shot 85 to lead a 3-4-5 finish of Wisconsin Dells golfers as the Chiefs shot 364 at Drugan’s Castle Mound GC in Holmen and won the WIAA Division 2 Arcadia regional by 20 strokes over Aquinas (La Crosse). Black River Falls (406) earned the third sectional team berth. It took a score of 97 or better to advance to the sectional as one of the top three golfers among those not competing for teams.

2026 outlook: With Wisconsin Dells shipped to the Evansville regional, the favorite tag falls to Arcadia, which was the only team to break 400 in winning the Coulee Conference Championship title at Trempealeau Mountain just last week. Senior Kalce Sobotta led there as the Raiders placed their four scoring golfers in the top seven en route to a 49-stroke victory. Arcadia will be one of five schools to field full teams among the seven sending golfers here.

Projected sectional team qualifiers: Arcadia, Aquinas (La Crosse), Black River Falls.

Projected sectional individual qualifiers: Kenzie Pokszyk, Adams-Friendship; Bailey Kujak, Cochrane-Fountain City; Jorja Wolfe, Cochrane- Fountain City.
