    Things keep getting better for the Kansas State women’s golf team. Behind star senior Carla Bernat, the Wildcats had such a good regular season that they earned a rare invitation to the NCAA Lexington Regional. Now, thanks to an incredible third round on Wednesday, they are heading to nationals for the first time in school history. K-State shot 10-under as a team in Round 3 to finish in a tie for second place behind regional team champion Florida State at Keene Trace Golf Club in Kentucky.

So much so that the Big 12's board of directors has voted to give Yormark a three-year contract extension. The new deal will run through 2030. His original five-year deal was set to expire in 2027.
