Barrington High School junior Adam Gorman had a 77 on the first day of the tournament and a 76 on the second day. His 153 was strong enough for third-best on the Eagles.

Lily Dessel carded a 78 on the first day and a 77 on the second day for a total of 155. Dessel finished third in the girls tournament.

Christian Vieira tallied a 156 — he scored a 79 on the first day and a 77 on the second. Sean Bonneau had a day one total of 78 and an 82 on day two for a total of 160.
