HELENA — While Glacier’s Luke Nelson makes a run at medalist honors at the Helena Invitational, the Wolfpack golf team is looking up at three teams halfway through the two-day tournament.
Nelson and Helena Capital’s John Gilbert both shot 68 Wednesday at the Bill Roberts Golf Course. Nelson was 5-under through 10, while Gilbert birdied two of the last three holes.
Gilbert’s Capital Bruins are tied for first the team race, at 2-over 290. Bozeman (293) and Glacier (294) aren’t far behind, and Helena High came in at 300.
Torren Murray joined Nelson in the top 15; he is one of three players tied for ninth at even-par 72.
Flathead is ninth out of nine teams at the meet; the Braves top golfer is Andrew Converse, who is just outside the top 15 after shooting a 75.
