The Shamrocks finished 10th in the state. Michael Cermak finished 25th in the state as an individual, posting an 11 over-par total of 155. It was Cermak’s third trip to the IHSA State Finals, having finished 38th in 2004 and 42nd in 2006.
Cermak joins a program that competes in the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets finished 8th in the MAC Championships last season, and just completed the fall portion of their schedule. Michael Cermak joins his brothers Joe and Matthew as an NCAA Division I athlete. Joe Cermak is in his senior year, on a golf scholarship, at Iowa State University, and Matthew Cermak is a sophomore, on a golf scholarship, at Missouri State University.
