The Dodge City, Kan. native put together an incredibly consistent senior campaign, posting a stroke average of 71.8 across 30 rounds of competition. He turned in a score at-or-under par in 17 of those 30 rounds, including seven rounds in the 60s and a low round of 66.
Scheck won the Hillcat Classic this spring after finishing tied for first at the Newman Invitational in the fall. He has five top-10 finishes in 10 events and eight finishes in the top 12.
A three-time All-MIAA selection, winner of the 2026 MIAA "A Game" Scholar Award and a 2025 CSC Academic All-American, Scheck was the top-ranked of four individuals selected out of the Central Region. A total of 108 players, 20 teams and eight individuals, will be competing for a spot in the 2026 NCAA Division II Championships, scheduled for May 18-22 at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nev. The top four teams and the top two individuals not on those teams will make the trip to Nevada.
