There will be something new this spring with the Peru State College (PSC) Bobcat golf team.
Bobcat golf head coach Brett Hahn decided after his first semester as the head coach that he needed a captain and that Jordan Schaardt (Humboldt) would be perfect for the role.
Hahn said, “Jordan has shown great leadership both on and off the course. She is not only a great golfer (Schaardt has an 85.67 scoring average), but she also excels in the classroom. Schaardt had a 4.0 fall semester grade point average (gpa) and has a cumulative of 3.965. One of the reasons I chose Jordan for this position is that she leads by example and is also a fantastic teammate.”
“Her positive attitude and determination to improve at practice and during tournaments is definitely contagious to her team,” continued Hahn. “She has shown great mental toughness as exhibited this past fall golf season while battling through some nagging injuries. Heading into the upcoming spring season, we look for Jordan to keep improving her overall game and become a front-runner at all future invites,” concluded Hahn.
Schaardt is a senior elementary education major and is looking forward to the role as captain. “Being named the team captain is quite the honor. I was astonished when Coach Hahn came to me about his decision,” said Schaardt. Continuing, Schaardt added, “Not only is being the captain a great honor, but it also pushes me to have more individual and team responsibilities. This spring I will work hard in taking responsibility for the team as well as myself to become better one and off the course.”
Rodney and Gin Schaardt are parents of the 2008 HTRS high school graduate who finished tied for sixth in the 2007 Nebraska School Activities Association Class C State Golf Meet. In 2006, Schaardt finished in a tie for eighth. Schaardt did qualify during her first two years in high school, but failed to medal.
The Bobcat golf team will begin practices soon. Peru State's first meet, Mother Nature permitting, will be a dual with the College of St. Mary on March 16, 2012, at the Table Creek Golf Course in Nebraska City. Table Creek is the home course for the 'Cats.
