nThe Minnesota men's golf program announced today the signing of Clayton Rask to a National Letter of Intent. Rask will be eligible to play for the Golden Gophers for the 2003-04 season.

Rask, a native of Otsego, Minn., was the medalist of the 2003 Tri-State Invitational while leading his Elk River team to the team title. Rask has been the top-ranked high school golfer in the state for the past three years. He played in the U.S. Junior Amateur in Atlanta, Ga., last summer. Rask will soon start qualifying for the U.S. Amateur and U. S. Open Championship.

Rask joins Mike Fiedler, a native of Fairbault, Minn., who signed during the fall signing period, in the 2003-04 recruiting class for the Golden Gophers.

"We are excited to have Clayton join the Golden Gopher golf program," said head coach Brad James. "He brings a tremendous work ethic and the potential to shoot very low scores. With the addition of Clayton, we've now signed two of the best young golfers in the state of Minnesota."
