Las Cruces, NM – The Alamogordo High School golf teams made a strong statement at the 5A State Preview on Monday, with the boys squad capturing first place and the girls finishing third at the New Mexico State University Golf Course.

The Alamogordo boys posted a team score of 304 to top the field, led by a pair of outstanding performances from the Wright brothers. Landon Wright and Dyson Wright both carded 72s to tie for first place individually. Brody Wright added a strong 74 to finish third overall, while Jacobi Saldevar placed fifth with a 77. Andrez Montoya (T-12th, 83) and Kolton Stagner (17th, 85) rounded out the Tigers’ scoring.

On the girls’ side, Alamogordo finished with a team total of 370, good for third place. Ava Armijo led the way with an 89 to take fifth place, followed closely by Kylee Wright in sixth with a 90. Tatum Wright tied for eighth with a 94, Ellie Clore tied for 10th with a 97, and Annelisia Herrera finished 32nd with a 118.

Observers praised the team’s performance, noting the depth shown across both lineups on a challenging NMSU layout.

The Tigers will look to build on this momentum as they return to Las Cruces next Monday for the District 3-5A Championships at Red Hawk Golf Course. A strong showing there will position both teams for a solid run toward the state tournament.
