River Falls took first in the team competition with a total score of 175, followed by Rice Lake in second with 180, Hudson third with 187, Eau Claire North fourth with 191 and Eau Claire Memorial fifth with 203.

Jill Wanner gave the Raiders two of the top ten finishers in the individual standings with a tenth place score of 47 while Leisha Cory and Hayley Uzpen tied for 17th with scores of 51 each. Lindsey Frank finished with a 52 for the Raiders.
