(Peru, Neb.) – It was not to be for the Peru State College (PSC) Bobcat golf team in the national qualifying meet held April 18 and 19 at the Rose Creek Golf Course in Edmond, Okla.   The meet was a combination of schools from the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC), the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference (MCAC), and the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) as none of the three conferences had enough schools to have an automatic qualifying bid to the national tournament.

The Bobcats finished fifth out of eight teams with the tournament being won by Northwood University of Texas (RRAC) who had a two-day total of 637 or 61 over par.  The remaining order of finish was as follows:  2^nd -Texas @ Brownsville (RRAC) – 695; 3^rd – Southwestern College (KCAC) – 699; 4^th – Central Christian College (MCAC) – 777; 5^th – PSC (MCAC) – 793; 6^th – Kansas Wesleyan University (KCAC) – 799; 7^th – Sterling College (KCAC) – 893; and 8^th – Ottawa University (KCAC) – 896.
