Good morning, Lafayette.

Purdue's men's golf coach Andrew Sapp said the team will return to the NCAA Championships and expects the event to strengthen the program + boost recruiting in the upcoming season.

His legacy lives on as former athletes recall the prayers and inspiration he offered—helping them build confidence on and off the court.

Purdue has signed two transfers, Oscar Cluff and Liam Murphy, and two freshmen, Antione West Jr. and Omer Mayer, for the upcoming season; Coach Matt Painter said the new players will strengthen rebounding, shooting, and overall versatility (each recruit is expected to fill a specific role on the team).

Fans at Lafayette Jeff watched Tuesday night as heavy rain and strong winds forced officials to postpone the girls track sectional minutes before the finals began—two events were scored before the delay.
