Tarleton State University sports are staying busy for the last half of April. Tarleton’s first year in Division 1 is starting to slow down.
Women’s Golf will be participating in their final competitions at the WAC Championships in Boulder City, NV. This event will take place over the course of April 19 through April 21. This season the Texans have competed in four tournaments. The ladies have been ready to compete in the Division 1 level and have shown that by placing in the top 10 the first three tournaments.
