Iola High golfers Xander Sellman and Titus Jones have stayed busy in the summer months.

After participating in a golf camp at the University of Kansas, both competed in a Wichita Junior Tour event, where Sellman took second and Jones fourth.

Sellman, who also earned a “Happy Camper” award for his work and attitude during the three-day camp, spoke highly of the coaches and players at KU, many of whom returned the favor.

Jones, meanwhile, expressed gratitude for the Jayhawk coaches and players, and spoke highly of the golfing facilities in Lawrence, Iola golf coach Jeremy Sellman said.
