In the second round, the Jets found their step and finished with the second-best team score, moving up to fourth place.
In the final round, the Jets held their own to claim fourth spot.
Senior Braxton Muldoon finished the tournament in third place individually, earning all-tournament honors.First-year golfer Alphonse Hermansson took 14th place; sophomore, Tomas Asgeirsson finished in 16th place; junior Grant Delsart finished in 29th place; and senior Charlie Townsend finished in 39th place.
The Jets placed in the top 10 in seven of 12 tournaments this season. Four of those were top-four finishes. Their best results were two runner-up finishes at both the Pioneer Prairie Classic and the Newman Fall Invite.
