Ridgeline shot 350 in blustery conditions at MeadowWood Golf Course for a 36-hole score of 692 and a 31-shot edge over Mead, which held off Southridge for second by one stroke.

All three teams punched their tickets to state next week at Eagles Pride G.C. in DuPont.

Ridgeline crowded the leaderboard with Carolyn Rose finishing fourth, Reagan Rothley sixth, Kate Mulligan seventh and Chloe Hamilton and Morgan Quesnell sharing 13th.

Bloom shook off a triple bogey at the par-5 second hole by playing even par over the next 13 holes. Two late bogeys cut into her lead but she made par on No. 18 to hold off Hermiston’s Nadalie Cannell. Both shot 77, but Bloom held a one-shot edge after the opening round.

Mt. Spokane’s Mia Bontrager, who finished third, and Avery Edmonson and Ferris’ Anna Morse and Vanessa Zacapantzi were among six individuals to qualify for state.

In the boys’ tournament, Mead’s Cam Cantillana and Ben Barrett finished 1-2, leading the Panthers to a team championship.

Mead shot 303 after an even-par 288 on Wednesday. Ridgeline and Cheney will join the Panthers at state. 

Cantillana added a 1-under 71 to his first-round 68. He was 2 under on the first seven holes and 2 under on the last seven. Barrett (70-70) finished one shot back. He had four birdies in an eight-hole stretch after a double bogey on No. 2.

North Central’s Teigen Brill (146), Ferris’ Ethan Miller (147) and Patrick Luby (153) and Mt. Spokane’s Stetson Gilbert (148) earned individual berths to state.
