14th Annual Kitna Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament a Great Success

"It was another great year at the 14th Annual Kitna Wildcat Classic," Director of CWU Athletics Dennis Francois said. "It is amazing to see the number of longtime participants who have this on their calendar every year, including Wells Fargo and our sponsors, all of whom continue to make a difference in the lives of our student-athletes."

On July 7, more than 260 CWU alumni, staff, donors, and golf enthusiasts descended on the Prospector and Rope Rider courses at the Suncadia Resort. The tournament raises funds for scholarships and for enhancing the student-athlete experience.

The tournament was directed by CWU Associate Athletics Director for Development, Jason Roundy, in conjunction with the Wildcat Club Board and the board's Special Events Committee. Roundy was happy with the turnout and support by the participants.

"Our sponsors, alumni, fans and friends truly make this a great event," Roundy said. "We can't say enough thanks for all they do to elevate Wildcat Athletics."

Lunch was provided prior to the round by Wing Central's Roadhouse Grill with beverages from Iron Horse Brewery, both owned locally in Ellensburg.

Various course games and challenges were set up throughout both courses, hosted by CWU student-athletes. Golfers had an opportunity to win a car courtesy of Stewart Subaru with a hole in one on a par three on each course.

Following the completion of their round, golfers were treated to dinner at Swiftwater Cellars and given an extra opportunity to bid on the various silent auction items that were scattered between the two courses.
