The 55th annual WIAA state girls golf tournament will take place on October 12 and 13 in Madison, with 12 teams and 18 individuals competing in Division 1 and six teams and nine individuals vying for the Division 2 crown. Competition will begin at 8 a.m. each day.

Three-time defending state champion Divine Savior Holy Angels headlines the tournament, with the 12 teams comprising the WIAA Division 1 state girls golf field. Overall, six of the top seven teams from last year’s tournament qualified this season.

Divine Savior Holy Angels shot a 298 team score to capture the Brookfield Central Sectional. The Dashers are making their 12th trip to state and fifth consecutive appearance. With their 28th appearance and third consecutive, Arrowhead placed fifth last season. Waukesha North/South/West finished second in its home sectional to clinch its sixth trip to state after placing seventh last season.

Other sectional champions in this year’s field include Hartford Union High School, who  won the sectional it hosted with a 320 team score to secure its first appearance in the state meet. 

Lake Country Lutheran is making its first trip to state and features last season’s state runner-up, junior Aubrey Molaison, who shot a 67 in the sectional round. Molaison placed fourth at state in 2024.
