The wind was a constant factor at the Ottawa University Invitational the last two days but the men's golf team battled to a fourth place finish.  In their first fall tournament of the season, Haskell Indian Nations University had to overcome a team high score of 333 on Monday at Eagle Bend Golf Course in Lawrence.  Head Coach Gary Tanner's squad would improve play by eight strokes Tuesday but it wasn't enough to make a big move on the final day of competition.  Kansas Wesleyan University won the tournament with a two-day total of 626 (304, 322) while KWU's Tyler Clark took the top individual honor with a 154 (76, 78).  However, HINU would not be far behind in this category as Josiah Kurley finished runner-up in the event with a 156 (79, 77).

The two-day golf event at the Kansas Wesleyan Fall Invitational saw similar results for the HINU squad.  The team of five - Josiah Kurley, Johnny Wright, Trevor Pueblo, Steven Harshberger, Brandon Thompson - each produced a score of 80 or above on a round during the tournament.  That inconsistency in competition play puzzles Head Coach Gary Tanner.

The final competition of the fall men's golf season was held at the Swope Memorial Golf Course in Kansas City.  Hosted by Avila University, the Indians were hoping to close out the event with a solid performance both Monday and Tuesday.  However, HINU could not break the habit which plagued them early in the season.

The most important part of the men's golf season is traditionally held in the spring when post-season competition can lead to a national championship.  Before the team entered the spring, Head Golf Coach Gary Tanner recognized four players for their past performance at a recent home volleyball match.

Haskell Indian Nations University is in the midst of the spring golf season and Head Coach Gary Tanner is hoping they save their best for last.  Already, the Indians have played in three events and have just completed their fourth at the Bethel Spring Invitational.  "We can't make any progress if we shoot in the 80's," said Tanner.  "We've got the golfers to compete but we've got to be consistent throughout the course to make a run at the top."

Haskell Track and Field is finally back …. Approximately four years ago the Haskell Track and Field Program was put on hold.  A couple of years later the distance portion of Track and Field returned.  In 2011-2012, Haskell opened up the Indoor and Outdoor Seasons to include the addition of sprints, mid-distance, and throws.  Yesterday at the Emporia State Twilight Meet the Indians added long jump, triple jump, and a relay team to the track and field mix. 

NCAA Division II, Emporia State University served as the 2^ndmeet of the Outdoor Track and Field season for the Indians.  Highlights from the meet include:

Ian Stand, a sophomore from Bay Point, California returned to the discus ring and completed a toss of 36.52 meters, an improvement from his first meet.  Stand, also earned a seventh place finish in the shot put with a distance of 10.76 meters. 

Two Haskell men finish fourth, while one Indian woman places sixth

Billy Mills (Track & Field) 1953-57
Mills grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation for the Oglala Lakota Tribe in Pine Ridge, S.D. Growing up Mills participated in boxing and running but did not hone his skills on the track until he came to Lawrence, Kan., and Haskell Institute. Following his time at Haskell, the South Dakota native went onto star at the University of Kansas, where he was a three-time All-American and a Big 8 champion. Aside from his collegiate prowess, Mills did exceptionally well on the international stage, winning Gold in the 10,000 meters during the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, where he became only the second Native American to capture Gold. The heralded Olympian continued to run after his Tokyo experience, breaking U.S. records in two events (10,000 meters and three mile run), as well as a world record in the six mile. Mills currently lives in Sacramento, Calif., where he is a spokesperson for ‘Running Strong for American Indian Youth' organization. He is also a member of numerous Hall of Fames throughout the nation, including the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame as well as the National Distance Running Hall of Fame.

Last week the weather disrupted the Indians as they opened the Outdoor Season at Pittsburg State University.  Thunderstorms and lightning prevented numerous races and events from running on schedule.  For many, the meet yesterday was their opportunity to finally compete.

Haskell will play host to the 2014 Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships on April 25th and 26th.
