The NAIT Ooks hosted another unforgettable NAIT Ooks Scholarship Golf Tournament at The Ranch Golf & Country Club on May 30th. With approximately 120 participants, the annual event brought together a dynamic mix of student-athletes, alumni, current and former NAIT staff, sponsors, and supporters — all united with one goal: raising scholarship funds for NAIT's dedicated student-athletes.
Once again, Kathy Barnhart Consulting Inc. stepped up as the tournament's generous Title Sponsor, helping make the day a tremendous success. The atmosphere was filled with energy, community spirit, and a shared commitment to supporting student-athlete excellence.
The tournament saw some impressive play on the course. Congratulations to our top teams:
- 1st Place: Taylor Dahlen, Austin Elgie, Brock Crosson, and Nate Kasowski
- 2nd Place: Donovan Caldwell, Darren Caldwell, Brian Chambers, and Tyler Rumple
- 3rd Place: NAIT Ooks Golf Coach Tyler Leicht, Assistant Golf Coach and Women's Hockey Head Coach Brendan Jensen, Graeme Nelson, and Eric Hawrelak
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible volunteers — including our student-athletes — as well as the NAIT Athletics and Recreation department staff, coaches, and the amazing team at The Ranch for making the day run smoothly.
