Said head coach Brett Muller, “Reid and Russell played much closer to where they should be consistently. Reid didn’t have his best but just found a way to put up a good number, which is something we all need to continue to get better at.”
Along with Wiebe, Russell Otten also shot in the 70’s both days, collecting a score of 74-77—151. Otten’s mark tied him for 11th place. Nolan Zikas recorded an 80-84—164.

The Prairie Wolves finished in seventh place (313-317—630).
