WARRENSBURG, Mo. - The Fort Hays State women's golf team placed 12th at the 2026 MIAA Championships this week at Mules National Golf Course, a par-70, 5,808-yard layout. High winds, thick rough and fast greens elevated scores across the entire field, with the winning team coming in at 67-over par and the winning individual completing the three rounds at 12-over.
The Tigers finished the week at 139-over after rounds of 330 on days one and two and a round of 319 in the final round. That third-round score was the team's second-lowest score this season. FHSU finished 49 shots clear of Newman and just one shot back of 11th-place Pittsburg State.
Avery Blasi led the team all three days, cracking the top 20 at 22-over par following rounds of 78, 77 and 77 to finish in a tie for 17th place.
