After one day at the 1A State Girls Golf Championships at the Riverside Golf Club in Chehalis, two local golfers are atop the leaderboard and primed for a state title.

Montesano’s Hailey Blancas and Elma’s Olivia Moore are in the lead separated by just two strokes heading into Wednesday’s final round.

Blancas – who roared back on the second day of last season’s state tournament to place second – shot an 82 over 18 holes to hold a two-stroke lead over Moore – the current District 4 champion – who shot an 84.

The two East County golfers are clear of the rest of the field by five strokes as Forest Ridge’s Lulu Gaul Vargas sits in third with a first-round score of 89.

Elma’s Sophia Hamilton sits in 15th with a score of 102 with Hoquiam’s Eva Jump sitting tied for 30th with a 113.

In the 1A State Boys Golf Championship, Elma’s Grant Vessey is top among local golfers with a 93 to sit in a tie for 40th place.
