Men's Golf Finishes in 2nd Place

Torrington, Wyo...

Men's golf finished out their regular season play this past week as they competed in Torrington, Wyoming for the Eastern Wyoming College tournament.  NJC had another outstanding showing as they took 2nd place, finishing only 3 strokes behind the Region leading Eastern Wyoming.  Jackson Rottschafer finished with a tie for 1st place shooting 6 under par over the two days. 

It was a tight race between McCook Community College and Northeastern for 2nd place overall this season, and by beating out McCook in Torrington, they achieved that feat.  It was the highest finish in Region IX play for the Plainsmen in several seasons.  Matt Campbell ended the regular season by making 1st Team All-Region while Jackson Rottschafer made 2nd Team All-Region.  NJC also qualifed for the National Tournament which is a huge accomplishment for this young team.  The National Tournament takes place in Odessa, Texas May 10th through the 13th and Northeastern will be taking 6 players to compete.
