The Panthers were led by co-medalists Trace White and Brevin Wilson. The two tied for first by shooting 38 apiece to lead the team to the win.

Jake Moffett and Bailey Shelledy were each in a three-way tie with Washington's Brock Sobaski for third place. Both players finished at 40 for the day to score for Mt. Pleasant.

Rhett Zeglen returned from illness for his first meet, and ended the tournament at 45. Reece Kempker finished the day with a stroke count of 60 to finish sixth on the team.
