Newton, KS – Four members of the No. 1 nationally ranked Indian Hills Men's Golf squad were recognized Monday night ahead of the 2026 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) DI Men's Golf National Championship.
Sophomores Charlie Preston (Hampshire, United Kingdom/The Sixth Form College Farnborough) and Nathan Pouchoulon (Aix-en-Provence, France/Lycée Georges Duby) were joined by freshman Miles Bollinger (Eagan, MN/Cretin-Derham Hall) and Harry McArdle (Burren, Ireland/St. Colman's College) on the NJCAA Division I PING Central District team, released by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The quartet made up four of the 10 Central district representatives, tied for the most of any team from the NJCAA Central District. The group was honored at the NJCAA DI Men's Golf Pre-Championship Banquet in Newton, KS Monday night.
The group has helped guide the Warriors to a No. 1 national ranking throughout the duration of the fall season by winning a total of five tournament titles during the 2025-26 campaign. Indian Hills will take its No. 1 rank into the National Championship which gets underway from Sand Creek Golf Station Tuesday morning.
Coming off an All-American performance as a freshman, Preston currently ranks as the No. 2 individual in the nation after a dominant sophomore campaign. Preston captured the NJCAA Central District Championship with a 13-under, 203 effort, tied for the third-lowest 54-hole total in program history. On the year, Preston has carded seven top-10 individual finishes, including three top-three performances.
Pouchoulon has produced a stellar sophomore campaign for the Warriors and currently ranks No. 11 in the nation in the latest individual rankings. The sophomore has produced six top-10 finishes on the year, including a 10th place showing at the NJCAA Central District Championship.
McArdle has made an immediate impact for the Warriors as a freshman and currently ranks fifth in the country in the latest individual rankings. McArdle boasted a runner-up finish at the NJCAA Central District Championship in addition to three other top-10 showings during the 2025-26 campaign.
Bollinger cracked the top-10 in the latest national rankings with a spot at No. 9 with an impressive freshman season for the Warriors. Bollinger took home medalist honors at the Western Illinois Intercollegiate and has tallied five total top-10 performances on the year. Bollinger placed third overall at the NJCAA Central District Championship to aid the Warriors' team title.
All four individuals are set to tee off at the NJCAA DI Men's Golf Championship Tuesday morning beginning at 7:30 AM as the Warriors have their sights set on an unprecedent eighth national championship in program history.
