With three-time state champioin Jessica Sindlinger of Charles City leading the field at 8-under par, the rest of the Class 4A field in the girls golf meet remained above par after Day 1 of the State Girls Individual Golf Meet, with the exception of Mackenzie Black of Independence, who made par of 73 to finish second.

Vinton-Shellsburg golfer Natalie Ketchen finished with a 91, tied for 17th place; Vikette Erin Randall carded a 94 and is tied for 21st heading into Wednesday's Day 2 at the Ames Golf & Country Club.

The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has canceled Day 2 of the event due to stormy weather; thus the Day 1 scores are now the official final scores.
