Advancing to the State Team Tournament were first-place Keokuk with a score of 2,888 and Oskaloosa with a 2,599.

Norwalk also fell short of any individual state qualifiers, which required a top-eight finish. Julia Palen led the Warriors with a three-game series of 524, Anna Curran bowled a 457 and Elivia Stout added a 416. Curran posted the team’s high individual game with a 193.
