BLACK HILLS STATE STORYLINES

• The Yellow Jackets enter the Briarwood Shootout after playing their last tournament in Billings as well with the Yellowjacket Fall Invitational. The Yellow Jackets finished eighth place at the YFI with them shooting a 680 (+104) over the two days in Billings in which they dropped a spot on day two. BHSU was very close to cracking the top ten 18 hole scores after the first round when they shot a fantastic 335 (+47) and sat in seventh place after the first day before shooting a 345 (+57) on day two.
• This will be the first time BHSU has played at the Briarwood Shootout and first time the Yellow Jackets have seen this golf course as it is a new event to the schedule. It will be the last chance for BHSU to get some rounds in before winter hits.
• BHSU was picked to finish 10^th in the RMAC in the RMAC Women's Golf Preseason Coaches' Poll finishing ahead of Adams State and just behind rivals Chadron State and South Dakota Mines.
• Shelbi Gardner is continuing one of the best starts in BHSU history. She led the team with a 165 (+21) over the two days at the Travis Roy Memorial Invite and shot her second round in the 70s this season with a 79 on day one in Sheridan. This came a week after she shot 77 (+5) on day one of the Swan Memorial, which was tied for the seventh best round in BHSU history and the second best by a freshman. She then finished by shooting 82 (+10) on day two to score a 159 (+15) for a 36-hole score that would put her tied for sixth all time in BHSU history and the best 36-hole score by a freshman in program history. Gardner once again led the team with a 167 (+23). She had a very consistent 83 (+11) and 84 (+12) on the two rounds and had a birdie each day of the tourney. She finished 24^th in the event
• Makaela Swanson shot 169 (+25) at the Travis Roy Memorial Invite this past week that included an 82 (+10) on day two of the tourney. She had a strong finish at the Swan Memorial as well where she finished in a tie for 49^th place with a 164 (+20) and had a team-low 79 (+7) in round two. Swanson had a great 81 (+9) on the first day and still shot second on the team with a 168 (+24) over the two days at the course she's been very good at. She still finished top 30 with a 28^th place finish.
• Katie Jorgenson will also be playing in her fifth tournament of the fall. She had her best tournament of the season in Spearfish shooting a 167 (+23) over the two days and finishing 18^th in the Homestake Invite. She shot a 83 and an 84 over the two days which were the two best rounds of the tournament by any Yellow Jacket. She was able to put together a strong 84 (+12) at the Yellowjacket Fall Invitational on day two of the tournament to put her with a 131 (+27) and in a 34^th place finish
• Savanah Peterson, a freshman walk-on, is making her team debut, where her score will count at the Briarwood. She started her career at the Homestake Invite where she shot 187 (+43) with a 92 (+20) on day two. She continued her impressive growth by shooting 89 (+17) on day one and a career-low 88 (+16) on day two. She looked strong at points in Billings and will look to keep her streak of getting better every round going at Briarwood Golf Club
• Randy Doran is now in his second season as head coach at BHSU and is looking to continue breaking records and setting new lows.
