With over 120 people swinging clubs in the 11th annual Alvernia College Crusader Golf Outing, it’s easy to see that this event has been a ‘hit’ with alumni, as well as faculty and staff members. In fact, more alumni members came this year than ever before to enjoy the beautiful weather, golfing, food, and prizes.
Held on the last day of summer at Hawk Valley Golf Club, the Outing drew plenty of new and seasoned golfers. Foursome members Sam Harter ’92, Randy Harakal, Coach Mike Miller, and John Scolastico ’02 won the tournament with a commendable 17 under par (55). Jeff Sadowski ’06 won the men’s longest drive competition, and Renee Clarke won the women’s longest drive. Fred Negri and Bob Lazarchick were victorious in the putting contest, and the four individual ‘closest to the pin’ shooters were Ryan Trupe ’04, Ben Hetrich, Sam Harter ’92, and Dave Landau.
After a hearty dinner, door prizes were awarded and the silent auction concluded. “It’s always a fun day,” said Darlene Berk of Alumni Relations, “Everyone had such a good time.”
Most of the proceeds go to the Chris Schlager Scholarship. Tom and Barbara Schlager started the scholarship in 1995 after their son Chris, an Alvernia soccer player, died. The Alvernia athletic department also benefits from the outing.
Special thanks go to Coach Kevin Calabria for organizing the yearly event.
