Jose Miguel Ramirez posted three rounds under par to tie for eighth, leading the Shocker men’s golf team to a fifth-place finish Nov. 6 in the Pearl at Kalauao Invitational.

The Shockers posted rounds of 291, 285 and 290 for an 866 (+2) team score. No. 31 West Virginia won the team title 23 strokes ahead of the Shockers with an 843 (-21) score. Wichita State earned another top-five finish on the year, its fourth in a row.

Ramirez bagged his fourth top-20 finish of the year and his second top-10 mark. He has finished in the top-20 in 10 of his last 12 tournaments, going back to last season. His 212 (-4) was one stroke shy of tying his season-best, but his four-under-par mark was his best of the season.

Wichita State ended 13 qualifying matches at the top of the leaderboard in total pinfall and capped it off with a dominant 4-0 sweep in the title match as they claimed the Track Kat Klash championship at Emerald Bowl in Houston.

The Shockers (21-5) led nearly wire-to-wire in terms of total pins, posting four matches over 1,000 to put themselves in position to compete for the title, which was the only round of bracket play after eight Baker matches and five traditional matches. Wichita State went 3-1 plus a bye in Friday’s Baker matches, 4-1 in Saturday’s traditional contests, and 2-1 on Sunday in Baker play, earning the top seed and a showdown with #9 Louisiana Tech. WSU put the Lady Techsters away in four games, 189-152, 225-222, 222-131, 201-170, earning the program’s 251st tournament win all time and first of the 2025-26 season.

Wichita State’s Elkana Kipruto claimed the American Conference men’s individual title, and Mercy Jepkoech was named the American Conference Women’s Freshman of the Year at the American Conference Championships Nov. 1 at Frank Liske Park.

The Shocker men finished third, and the Shocker women took fifth of the women’s team championship. The Shockers placed five runners on the all-conference team and two on the all-freshman team.

Kipruto defeated the No. 5-ranked runner in the NCAA, Tulane’s Bernard Cheruiyot, to claim Wichita State’s first-ever American Conference men’s crown, running 23:16.6 in the 8K race.
