Tom Weikle Leads Blue Hawk Men to Victory!

Despite it being a very windy day at the Bismarck State College Open the Blue Hawk Golf Teams had an impressive showing of their abilities. The men’s team came charging out of the gate, in the first nine holes, to establish a lead that held on through the last nine. They defeated conference rivals Minot State University, Jamestown College, and Valley City State University. The Blue Hawks scored an amazing 306 as a team and had senior Tom Weikle in the top five finishers. Weikle shot solid all day long and finished a par 72 with a final score of 76. Other Blue Hawk Men finishers were Kyle Chan 77, Tony Elliot 78, Brian Quintus 75, and Kody Harper 79.

The Dickinson State University Women’s team narrowly missed winning first place, but had a good showing and won second. The team finished the par 72 with a score of 363 and was led by Sophomore Caitlin Hurlock’s fifth place finish (88). She was closely followed by her teammates; Kelsey Boedecker 89, Lana Scott 89, Paige Kamminga 97, and Brittney Backen 97.

The teams have a very quick turn around time this week as they travel to Valley City State University Sunday, September 12th- Monday, September 13th. This will be the first official Dakota Athletic Conference events of the fall season.
