David Aarons fired a 3-under-par 69 on Wednesday, leading the SBCC men’s golf team to third place in WSC No. 6 at San Dimas Golf Course.
Aarons, a sophomore from Santa Barbara High, had six birdies in his season-best round and finished third in the 42-player field. Forrest Iverson and Reese Hutchins both carded 75 for the Vaqueros, who shot 371 and missed their season-low by one shot.
Tyler Schwanz of Canyons was the medalist at 67.
Canyons shot an all-time low of 645 (69.0 average) to beat Glendale by 19 shots in the seven-team tourney. Canyons is 34-2 in the WSC, 10 games ahead of Glendale (24-12).
SBCC is third with a 22-14 record. Trevor Gorski and Jeff Blystone both shot 76 for the Vaqueros, who had all six players between 69 and 79.
“Our guys had a players-only meeting last week to re-assess their goals and they’re excited about trying to make the playoffs,” said coach Chuck Melendez. “Everyone was focused and determined today. I was happy with our effort.”
The Vaqueros will play in WSC No. 7 on Monday at Oakmont CC in Glendale.
