Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills golf team, the defending national champs in NJCAA Division I, will begin the fall schedule as the No. 2-ranked team in the nation.  IHCC holds down the second spot in the preseason top 10 in the Bushnell Golfweek DI Preseason Coaches Poll.  Midland, third in last spring's national tourney, is No. 1 in the rankings with Odessa ranked right behind the Warriors.

Indian Hills returns four members of last year's title-winning squad including Joe Kim, George Clarke and Maxime Leclerc, who were tied for 5th, tied for 14th and tied for 22nd, respectively, at the national tournament.

The Warriors will play in four events this fall, starting with the Klocke Family Classic hosted by Mount Mercy University in Marion, Iowa Sept. 8-9.
