MENOMINEE---Escanaba senior golfer Kevin Gendron burned up the Menominee North Shore golf course on Monday, carding a 74 to lead the Escanaba Eskymos to a third place finish at the Menominee Invitational.

Menominee was fourth (336), while the Gladstone Braves finished fifth with 347 strokes. The Braves were led by Drew Scheeneman's 82. Full results for both Escanaba and Gladstone boys teams from Monday's match are posted below.
In Monday's girls meet, the Gladstone Braves won the tournament by a wide margin, with a total of 387 strokes. Escanaba was second (425), with Menominee third (444), and Marquette fourth (470). Gladstone's Callie Jensen shot a 92 to win medalist honors, while teammate Paige Tardiff shot a 94. Escanaba's Kelsey Motto shot a 93.
