WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State men's golf coach Judd Easterling announced the signing of former Kansas 5A Golf State Champion and University of Kansas transfer Zach Sokolosky to the team's 2023-24 roster on Wednesday afternoon.
"Zach is going to come in here and help us immediately," said Easterling. "Being a local kid, he's familiar with our golf courses and a lot of our current student-athletes. I'm super excited to have him here."
A Wichita native, Sokolosky etched his name into Andover High School's men's golf program record book during his senior season, where he set the school record for the lowest single round score at 64 and he set the school record for score average in a season at 72.
Sokolosky won a Kansas 5A State Men's Golf title during his senior year in 2017, winning the individual title by five strokes. He was also an AVCTL All-League First Team selection that same year.
Sokolosky comes to Wichita State as a redshirt junior after playing four seasons at Kansas. As a Jayhawk, he competed in 16 events and 47 rounds. He played in seven of KU's fourteen tournaments this past year, compiling two top-15 finishes. His lowest score of the year was 216 at the Minnesota Golf Classic on September 11th where he finished even-par and tied for 12th in the tournament.
His best tournament finish as a Jayhawk came in the 2021-22 season where he finished 11 strokes under par on his way to a 2nd place finish at the Minnesota Golf Classic on September 12th-13th, 2021.
Sokolosky is the son of Shawn and Deb Sokolosky and he has three siblings, Lauren, Drew, and Christopher.
