Meet Results

The Yellowjacket men's golf team has been idle for almost two weeks, but the hiatus ended Monday when the team competed against the rest of its Upper Midwest Athletic Conference brethren at the Mid Country Bank Classic in Waconia, Minnesota. And maybe they went into the event a little bit on the rusty side.

After 12 days off the Yellowajckets were a little behind where they were last time out, finishing in a tie for fifth place. The meet was really a one-team race, as Crown College ran away with the title, finishing with a combined score of 308, 16 strokes ahead of second place Northwestern. The battle for the next five spots was hotly contested, as the five teams were separated by just five strokes. The Yellowjackets and Martin Luther College tied for fifth place with combined scores of 329.
