ALEXANDRIA — For the second straight season, the Alexandria girls golf program took home the MSHSL Class AAA state championship, its fifth in program history.
This championship effort was led by senior Cora Larson and junior Hannah Boraas who were named co-MVPs of the team.
“Hannah and Cora were named co-MVPs and their scoring averages were very similar all year long,” Alexandria head coach Tim Zupfer said. “They led the way.”

Larson finished with all-state honors and placed sixth individually at the state tournament. She also earned a spot on the all-state academic team as well. Boraas was a member of the all-state team as well.
