Each member of Grant and Granada Hills qualified for the State championships in San Diego on June 8, as did the top 10 other finishers.

Grant’s Elise Kimm, a co-leader Tuesday with a 75, teed off almost 1 1/2 hours after the others because of an advanced placement test in the morning. Kimm’s second-day 86 dropped her to eighth place at 161.

Granada Hills’ Kevin Kurhajec shot a 76, the best round of day, to finish third at 156.

Cory Karpin of Grant shot 157 to finish fourth. Teammate Johnny Choi (159) was fifth.
