The Carbon Dinos completed the 2021 high school golf season with a 7^th place finish overall at the 3A State Championship meet Thursday afternoon at Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele.

Competing against 15 qualifying schools throughout the classification, the Dinos ended with a two day total of 654, placing them 20 strokes out of a top-five performance. The Morgan Trojans claimed the 3A State Championship with a team score of 602, defeating second place Grantsville by nine strokes. Richfield, Juab and Union rounded out the top five.

Carbon easily qualified for the second and final day as the team shot a combined 317 in the first of two rounds Wednesday afternoon. Tied for fourth entering Thursday, the Dinos dropped two spots with a round of 320, falling below both Union and Richfield.

Junior Bode Salas put together two solid rounds of golf as he finished second overall in the individual standings with a 144.
