Justin Woods, an up-and-coming sophomore, led the way for La Jolla on day 2 of CIF by shooting a 77, a phenomenal score on the tough Legends course at Omni La Costa, for a combined 157 in the two days of competition. That helped the Vikings land in fourth among Division 2 schools.

Woods, the only La Jolla golfer to shoot a better score at Legends than on the first day at Steele Canyon, was a force in the second-day competition Mon., May 15. Senior Kaden Ward shot a combined 171; junior Nathan Wittkow carded a similar score, 171.

Meanwhile, sophomore Nate Takata combined for 170, and Gabriel Lopez 188. Seigo Lavinsky shot a gutsy 98 at Legends, a big improvement over his 113 at Steele Canyon, for a 211 total.
