Individual Success
In 2022, Eugenio Chacarra was medalist at the NCAA Columbus Regional to become the 12th Cowboy to do so. Kevin Wentworth won consecutive titles in 1989 and 1990 before Alan Bratton took top honors in 1995. Bo Van Pelt added his name to the list of medalists in 1997 before Jonathan Moore won nine years later. Kevin Tway won in 2008 and 2009 before Peter Uihlein's victory in 2010.
