Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills Community College golf team, fresh off a first-place finish in the Blue Devil Classic in Kansas City, Kansas this week, is still ranked No. 1 in the nation among National Junior College Athletic Association Division I schools.
The Warriors were the top-rated team in the preseason poll and are still atop the rankings after winning two of their first three meets of the fall season. They came in second in their other meet.
Meridian CC is ranked second, two points behind the Warriors, and Western Texas College is third.
Indian Hills is busy preparing for the NJCAA National Preview, a four-day meet that begins this Saturday in Newton, Kansas. IHCC won that meet last fall and followed it up by winning the national championship last spring.

McLendon is Medalist as Warriors Win
Panora, IA -- Freshman Tucker McLendon led a group of four Indian Hills golfers who finished in the top five as the Warriors rolled to the team title in the AIB Fall Invitational on Saturday.
McLendon was the meet medalist. He opened with a two-under par 70 on Friday and struggled a little in his second round, recording a 79. But his 149 total for 36 holes was still two strokes better than a group of three golfers, including two of his teammates.
Both Mitch Tucker and Monty Lack finished at 151. Tucker shot a one-over 73 on Saturday.
Ben Ludlam was another stroke behind Tucker and Lack with a 152. Ludlam overcame a first-round 81 to shoot the best round of the day, a one-under 71, in the second round.
The Warriors will compete in the Blue Devil Fall Golf Classic Oct. 10-11 in Kansas City, Kansas.
