This past week provided Colorado’s top girls golfers with just a few more opportunities to gain that competitive edge out on courses around the state prior to next week’s regionals, and several took full advantage.

Case in point, Air Academy freshman Landry Frost, who went under par at the Broadmoor Golf Club on Wednesday to win the Broadmoor Women’s Open prep event. Likewise, Aspen’s Lenna Persson carded one of her lowest rounds of the season Tuesday at the (Central Grand Junction) Warrior Tournament at Tiara Rado, shooting 3-under-par 68 on the strength of a 32 on the back nine coming in.

Rain and snow did hinder several other early events, but weather appears picture perfect for regional competition Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Colorado Preps offers a breakdown of each classification as the state tournament fields are whittled down to 84 players.

Class 5A

Toughest region: With Cherry Creek, Fossil Ridge, Chaparral and Regis Jesuit in the mix, the Southern Region at Pinery Golf Club appears spicy at the outset. Ellie Barry and Abbi Beld have quietly found solid rounds all season long for Fossil Ridge, while Lilie Cohen (Chaparral) and Audrey Whitmore (Regis) have been very consistent. Tatum Platt will look to carry the Bruins.

Coming in hot: Maddie Makino paces Legend as a sophomore, while the Titans also have Adyson Ice ranked in the top 15 of 5A golfers. Legend is the frontrunner for the Northern Region, while Chatfield, ThunderRidge and Northfield figure to be contenders for the second team spot out at the Broadlands.

Others to watch: It’s easy to focus on star players like Brenna Higgins (Valor Christian), and Addison Hines (Ralston Valley). But maybe keep an eye on Brighton’s Raleigh Puzio as a top regional contender at Indian Tree. The senior had a season-low round of 69 just two weeks ago at Flatirons.

Class 4A

Toughest region: Wow, is Class 4A ever so wide open at first glance. Little-known Durango has the highest team ranking in iWanamaker, with Pueblo West, Windsor and Riverdale Ridge right behind. Region 4, played at the Olde Course in Loveland, appears stacked, however, with the two Demons (Durango and Golden), Monarch and Montrose clocking in as top-10 in the iWanamaker rankings.

Coming in hot: Windsor’s Macy Kleve is state-tournament savvy, and the Wizards senior is in prime position to compete head-to-head with Riverdale Ridge’s Brynn Balliet in Region 3 at Twin Peaks. But Vista PEAK’s Sophia Capua may have a say in that regional outcome, too.

Others to watch: The junior-freshman Ponderosa combo of Olivia Meyering and Kaylee Meyering could end up 1-2 at Fox Hollow in Region 2.

Class 3A

Toughest region: The Olde Course once again plays host to what might be the tightest field of top teams in 3A, as Holy Family, Northridge, Berthoud and Timnath will duke it out Wednesday. All those programs are iWanamaker top-9 ranked.

Coming in hot: Playing in the Jeffco League, Littleton’s Zoe Bar-Or has had an exceptional junior season having carded two rounds sub-70 and several others right around even. She’ll get some push in her Region 2 tournament Tuesday from Pomona’s Riley Kinsella and Mullen’s Ayla Rueschhoff.

Others to watch: Throw out her 86 at The Showcase at the end of April, and Tess Morris’ top scores read like this: 75, 72, 72, 73, 71. The Lutheran junior will look to overcome a sort of home-course advantage for Pueblo Central’s Sofia Contreras, who has already played Walking Stick twice this season and shot better there in her second round (80) than her first (86).

Class 2A

Toughest region: The CHSAA’s newest classification for girls golf is its biggest, and the dropdown from 3A to 2A for many of the top schools has presented some interesting regional scenarios that are hard to predict. Region 2 at Lone Tree has Metro League flavor and will be a battle between Denver Christian, Peak to Peak, Kent Denver and Prospect Ridge — all top-8 ranked according to iWanamaker.

Coming in hot: Sterling’s Macie Doherty, with a chance to play in her own town as Sky Ranch hosts Region 3 on Monday, arguably has the biggest advantage over the rest of the field than any other player in the state. She fired a 77 at the course just days ago, on April 24.

Others to watch: Colorado Academy freshman Sophia Lee hasn’t played a prep tournament in-state for a bit, but the phenom will play in the Region 4 tournament at RainDance National and compete with the likes of Persson and Resurrection Christian’s Avery Stockslager — the latter who will be playing on her ‘home’ course (she shot 79 there on April 15).
