Welcome to Nebraska Men’s Golf

The 2015-16 Nebraska men’s golf team features seven newcomers to the Husker roster.

2 2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN'S GOLF

INTRODUCTION/OUTLOOK . THE HUSKERS . ADMINISTRATION . HISTORY & RECORDS . THIS IS NEBRASKA

New Huskers Look to Make an Impact in 2015-16Seven newcomers hope to make an immediate

impact on a young Nebraska men’s golf team in 2015-16.While returning Huskers Justin Jennings, Ben

Maschka and Aaron Wong will take on significant leadership roles for the Big Red, newcomers Michael Colgate, Jace Guthmiller, Dylan McCabe, Clayton Peterson, Joel Sneed, Sean Song and Jackson Wendling will combine forces to form a new-look Nebraska team this season.

“It is rare that we add so many players in a recruiting class, but we lost five seniors with a lot of experience,” Nebraska Coach Bill Spangler said. “Each young man in this class has an opportunity to compete right away.”

Jennings, who made a significant impact for the Huskers as a sophomore in 2014-15, competed in all but two tournaments a year ago. The junior from Amarillo, Texas, compiled a 77.23 stroke average. He notched his top finish of the season at the Wyoming/Southern Dunes Invitational in Maricopa, Ariz., when he tied for 42nd. The two-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member had his best round at the Denver Desert Shootout, firing a 3-over par 219 to finish 15 strokes behind the medalist in a tie for 48th.

Jennings, a finance major, also earned academic All-Big Ten honors for the first time in his career in the spring.

Another Husker who contributed in 2014-15 was Maschka. The sophomore from Omaha competed in four tournaments for the Big Red as a freshman, while compiling an 80.83 stroke average. His best tournament finish came at the Southern Dunes Invitational, where he tied for 47th. Maschka added his best round of the season with a 71 at the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate on Oct. 21, 2014. He went on to post his best 54-hole score with a 12-over par 225.

Wong competed in one tournament as a junior in 2014-15. The 2016 senior from Chandler, Ariz., fired a 13-over 229 at the Hawkeye Invitational as he went on to tie for 52nd. Wong, an advertising and public relations/broadcasting major, also earned academic All-Big Ten

accolades for the second time in his career in the spring. Michael Colgate comes to Lincoln as a transfer from

Nebraska-Kearney. Colgate, a junior from Sarasota, Fla., compiled a 74.52 stroke average in two seasons at UNK before coming to NU. Over the summer of 2015, Colgate won the Nebraska Match Play Championship 5 & 4.

Nebraska Coach Bill Spangler said Colgate could be counted on as a leader in his first year with the Husker program.

“He gives us instant experience at the national level with success,” Spangler said.

In addition to Colgate, the Huskers added another transfer to the roster with sophomore Clayton Peterson. A Lincoln native, Peterson spent the 2014-15 season competing for Southeast Community College. In his freshman season at SCC, Peterson captured first-team NJCAA Division II All-America honors while helping SCC to the NJCAA Region IX championship.

Another Nebraska native, Sean Song was one of the state’s top junior golfers. The freshman from Omaha won the 2015 Nebraska Junior PGA Championship by four strokes at Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln. The Omaha Burke graduate also tied for 12th at the Class A State Championship in 2014.”

“Sean has a terrific golf swing and is a hard worker who will only get better with experience,” Spangler said.

Jace Guthmiller, who joins the Huskers from just north of the Nebraska border in Yankton, S.D., adds power to a solid class of five freshmen. A big hitter, Guthmiller captured the Yankton Boys Invitational title on the third playoff hole in September of 2014. He also finished ninth at the SDHSAA Class AA Boys Golf Championships after carding rounds of 79 and 74.

“Jace is a big kid who hits it far and has shown the ability to go low,” Spangler said.

Another golfer from near the Nebraska border, Dylan McCabe joins the Big Red from Sioux City, Iowa. McCabe was named the 2014 Sioux City Journal Siouxland Player-of-the-Year after becoming the youngest golfer to win the Tri-State Master at age 16.

“Dylan has excelled on the national stage and has a variety of shots in his arsenal,” Spangler said.

Jackson Wendling brings a strong junior golf resume with him to Nebraska from Effingham, Ill. An HP All-American from the American Junior Golf Association, Wendling was also a three-time All-Apollo Conference selection at Effingham High School.

“Jackson has a ton of national tournament experience,” Spangler said. “He brings great swing mechanics and an excellent work ethic, and will be a great teammate.”

Joel Sneed rounds out the five-member freshman class for the Huskers in 2015-16. Sneed won the Michigan Division 4 State Finals with a score of 147. The Leland, Mich., native also won the Region 16 championship with a 68.

“He is dedicated and is a grinder,” Spangler said. “Joel also brings national experience to our program.”

The Huskers open the fall campaign on Sept. 8 by traveling to the Colorado-Ballyneal Challenge in Holyoke. After the one-day event in Colorado, the Huskers travel to Normal, Ill., for the D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate, Sept. 13-14. Two weeks later the Huskers compete at the Jackrabbit Invitational at the Prairie Golf Club in Valentine, Neb., Sept. 26-28.

The Big Red continue the fall at the Bruce Fossum Memorial at Point O’ Woods Golf Club in Benton Harbor, Mich., Oct. 5-6. Nebraska closes the fall campaign at the Maryland Invitational at historic Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Oct. 19-20.

Nebraska opens the spring season at the Big Ten Match Play in Palm Coast, Fla., Feb. 12-13. One week later, the Huskers travel to Palm Desert, Calif., for the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate, Feb. 19-21. The Huskers head to Arizona for the Michigan Desert Mountain Invitational in Scottsdale, March 5-6. They return to Arizona two weeks later for the Desert Shootout at the Palm Valley Country Club in Goodyear, March 18-19.

Nebraska opens April at the Seattle Redhawk Invitational, April 4-5, before returning to the Midwest to compete at the Iowa Invitational in Iowa City, April 16-17. The Huskers head to Victoria National in Newburgh, Ind., for the Big Ten Championships, April 22-24, with hopes of qualifying for NCAA Regionals, May 16-18.

Junior Michael Colgate joins the Huskers in 2015-16 after playing his first two seasons at Nebraska-Kearney.

Junior Justin Jennings is Nebraska’s most experienced returning golfer after competing in all but two tournaments for the Huskers as a sophomore in 2014-15.

Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On Feb. 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last two years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) in 1958. The CIC was formed as an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities and founding conference member Chicago. In 2013, the 15 schools currently constituting the CIC produced over $10 billion in funded research, $4 billion more than any other conference. In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted

James E. DelanyCommissioner

Big Ten Conferenceto integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences. In 2006, Commissioner Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with Fox Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more than 1,000 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in more than 60 million homes in the United States and Canada through the nation’s major cable, satellite and telco providers and more than 300 additional cable operators across the country. BTN2Go is the digital extension of BTN, delivering live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets and also is accessible outside the United States, Canada and the Caribbean via BTN2Go International. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on Nov. 19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. In the fall of 2013, the Big Ten opened a new conference headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. The newly constructed building is located 10 minutes from O’Hare Airport and has been designed to fully service the needs of more than 350 meetings annually for Big Ten and CIC-related committees and coaches groups. The new headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which opened to the public on June 7, 2014, and brings the conference’s storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, go to bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Three Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C. Delany and his staff work to meet the educational needs of students competing in intercollegiate athletics to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference office manages 28 championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of nearly 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.
