May 19—MITCHELL — Led by individual medalist Trey Speer, the Chamberlain girls golf team won the Region 3A tournament title on Tuesday at Lakeview Golf Course. Chamberlain finished with a team total of 374 strokes, with Speer's 83-stroke round leading the way. Individually, the Cubs also placed Natalie Nelson (94) in third, Jayde McQuirk (96) in fifth and Creed Harmon (101) in 10th to round out the team score.
