MSU-N golfers, runners compete

The Montana State University-Northern golf and cross country teams were back in action last week.

The Northern golf teams wrapped up the fall season at last week’s Rocky Mountain Invitational on Billings. The Lights finished in sixth place overall, but the big story was Micaiah Hauser who recorded an ace during the tournament, which was held at Peter Yemen Golf Club. Hauser is also a basketball player at Northern, who shot 238 and finished 29th. T.J. Reynolds led the Lights with a 237 in 27th place, while Theron Peterson was 240, Gerit Johnson was 245, Kyler Cassel was 252 and Mason Rathbun shot a 295.

Maddison Underdal led the Skylights coming in 30th place with a score of 190. Molly Hamilton finished in 32nd place with a score of 197. Sky Didyoung come out of the tournament hitting a 283.

The Lights and Skylights will resume their season next April.

Last Friday, the Northern cross country teams also resumed their season with the Tony Banovich Invitational held in Butte.
