SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA men's golf team will travel to Laredo for the Border Olympics, which will be contested on Friday-Saturday, March 10-11, at Laredo Country Club (par 72/7,125 yards).
The Roadrunners will compete against Bowling Green, Campbell, host Houston, Houston Baptist, Lamar, Little Rock, Louisiana-Lafayette, McNeese State, Nebraska, New Mexico State, Oral Roberts, Rice, Sacramento State, Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin, Texas State, ULM and UTEP.
The field will play 36 holes on Friday and the final round is scheduled for Saturday.
UTSA is coming off a sixth-place finish at the Louisiana Classic on Feb. 27-28 in Lafayette, La. Collin Clark fired a 1-under-par 215 (71-73-71) to finish ninth, and the freshman from Mansfield was named Conference USA Player of the Week for his performance.
This will mark UTSA's eighth straight and 18th overall appearance in the Border Olympics. The Roadrunners have posted a top-10 finish seven times, including a program-best fourth-place tie in 2000. UTSA tied with Texas State for eighth place at last year's Border Olympics after carding a 1-over 577 (293-284) in the rain-shortened event.
