Great Lakes Region

At one point the Great Lakes Region featured teams from across the Midwest such as Notre Dame, Purdue, and Wisconsin. After the Fall of 2015 the Great Lakes split apart due to growth in the NCCGA across the country. The Great Lakes Region now features schools exclusively in Central and Northern Illinois. Since the Spring of 2015 each semester features one tournament in Central Illinois, with the other taking place in the Chicagoland area. Illinois State won the region four semesters in a row from the Spring of 2015 to the Fall of 2016, that run included an Individual National Championship title from Austin Havens in the Fall of 2015 (TPC San Antonio).

DePaul and Illinois represented the Great Lakes region in Myrtle Beach as they both competed for the Fall 2018 National Championship shooting team scores of 800 & 817 respectively. Both teams will look to return to the National Championship this spring.
