Former Laurel Golfer to Play for Yellowjackets (July 29, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – MSU Billings golf coach Dave Doherty has announced that former Laurel High School standout Judd Norman will join the Yellowjackets for the upcoming season.  Norman is a 1999 graduate of Laurel HS and played two years at Rocky Mountain College.

At Laurel, Norman had three top-five individual finishes at the Class A state tournament, helping the Locomotives to state team titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999.  He placed third as both a sophomore and junior, and fifth as a senior.

Norman earned second team all-conference honors as a freshman and sophomore at NAIA Rocky Mountain before transferring in 2001 to Idaho State University, where he redshirted.  After using his one-time transfer exception to attend Idaho State, Norman attended classes at MSUB during the 2002-2003 school year to complete his required academic year in residence.  He will have one season of eligibility remaining for the Yellowjackets.

“I returned to Billings as soon as I heard that MSU Billings was forming a men’s golf team,” said Norman.  “I am acquainted with some of the other members of the team as well as Coach Doherty.”
