BETTENDORF - Senior Max Thrune shot a 2-under-par 70 to win medalist honors, leading Linn-Mar to the Class 4A District golf championship on Monday at Palmer Hills Golf Course.

Thrune had four birdies and two bogeys in his winning round. The Lions won the team title at 297, nine shots better than Pleasant Valley and 14 shots ahead of Davenport Assumption. All three teams qualify for the state meet this Friday and Saturday at Elmcrest Country Club.

Linn-Mar junior Jack Recker took runner-up honors with a 1-over 73. Recker played the front nine in 2-over 38, but birdied 10 and 11 before a bogey on 17 left him at 1-under 35.
