Spokane’s Ben Barrett and Cameron Kuchar, of Harrison, tied for second in boys 13-14. Barrett and Kuchar, whose dad, Matt, plays on the PGA Tour, both shot 2-under 214. Boise’s Ryan Shepherd fired a 4-under 68 in Wednesday’s final round for a one-stroke victory.

Spokane’s Melia Cerenzia placed second in girls 13-14 with rounds of 79, 83 and 81.

Spokane’s Kaiton Meyer (82-78-78) tied for fourth in girls 15-18 while Spokane Valley’s Brayden Miles (71-71-75) took sixth in boys 15-18.
