LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The Washburn Men's Golf Team heads to Las Vegas for the NCAA DII Men's National Championships at Boulder Creek Golf Club.
"We're really excited for this group heading into the National Championships," said Washburn Head Coach
Ronnie McHenry. "The guys have had a strong spring and battled their way through a tough regional to earn this opportunity. They've continued to improve each week, and now it's about going out, competing against a great field, and seeing what we can do on the national stage."
Washburn qualified for the National Championships after finishing in fourth place last week at the NCAA DII Central/Midwest Super Regional in Big Rapids, Mich., at Katke Country Club. The Ichabods shot 15-over as a team after 54-holes. The men's team heads to the tournament for the first time since 2023.

Jacob Fratzel heads into the National Championships with six top-10 finishes and only 1 finish outside of the top-25 during his Freshman campaign.
Marco Anderson is entering his second NCAA National Championships after he qualified for the event last year by winning the NCAA Central/Midwest Regional.
