Catalina Foothills junior Finn Meister returns after taking second place to former Salpointe standout Carlos Astiazaran in the Division II state championship and Salpointe senior Lily Huether look second place on the girl’s side.
The Ironwood Ridge boys won the D-II team title last year and the Salpointe girls took third place. Mica Mountain moved from Division III to D-II this fall and the Thunderbolts will field a boys team and a girls team.
The state championship moves from the Omni Tucson National to the Aguila Golf Course in Laveen. The Omni hosted all levels from 2017 and the Randolph Complex hosted from 2015 to 2016.
