BERLIN — Early in the season, Horicon's Tyler Schmude struggled in Flyway meets.
Now he is the conference's Player of the Year after matching his closest competition, St. Mary's Springs' Alec Todryk, with an 82 for co-medalist honors at Friday's 18-hole finale.
Schmude averaged 41.1 strokes in conference play to best Todryk (41.7). No other golfer was within two shots of the duo.
Schmude was the medalist in Horicon's last five conference mini meets.

Chase Schwartzmiller led Mayville (403) with a 93. Austin Wiese had a 99 followed by Nick Kubicek (102) and Aaron Turk (109).

KEWASKUM — Led by an 82 from Jordan Mock, the Waupun boys golf team took third at Friday's 18-hole Eastern Wisconsin meet at Hon-E-Kor Golf Club, par 70.
With the finish, the Warriors moved ahead of host Kewaskum for second in the final team standings.
"This was the first time we got to second all year and it's a great time to do it," Waupun coach Dan Wucherer said. "We've showed improvement all year long.
"Though we didn't golf that great today, we did enough to catapult into second."
Mock, who tied for second in the meet, finished on the EWC's first team. Jake Pusateri (86) made second-team honors.
Rounding out the scoring were Justin TenPass with a 92 and Justin Pusateri shooting 95. Grant Vande Zande's 105 was the scratch.
