Logan Wagner is playing some of the best golf of his stellar career at the most opportune time.

Wagner, a sophomore at Millersville University, won two tournaments in a five-day span leading up to the NCAA Division II region championship. The Marauders won both of those events, and Wagner was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Men's Golf Athlete of the Week.

The 2023 Solanco High School graduate shot a 2-under par 70 to capture the Husky Spring Invitational hosted by Bloomsburg University at Frosty Valley Golf Links on April 17.

"I wasn't playing the best golf coming into it," Wagner said. "I was kind of gliding along trying to shape my game up. We just got back from IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) the day before that, and it was really windy up there. It was blowing 40 miles per hour. We got some hail. I shot two 79s up there, and my game plan going into Bloomsburg was to just go out there and try to find something in my game. And I'm pretty sure I did."

Wagner needed just 24 putts to complete his round. The win was a big boost to Wagner's confidence, he said, reinforcing "the thought you know you can compete, and you know you can win a tournament again. That really helps going into a tournament, as well as the team coming off of a win and having the team have a bunch of confidence trying to win another tournament."

On April 21, Wagner fired a 5-under par 66 to take the Franklin & Marshall (F&M) Invitational at Bent Creek Country Club. Wagner was one stroke off a Millersville-record round. He hit 16 greens in regulation and carded a 6-under 30 on the back nine. Starting his round on the second hole, Wagner made the turn with a birdie on No. 10, and that momentum carried him the rest of the day.

Course knowledge helped Wagner, who has recorded a 64 at Bent Creek, where he practices nearly every day during summers with guidance from his personal coach, Rob Rowe.

Millersville's next tournament will be the NCAA Atlantic/East Super Regional Thursday through Saturday, May 8 to 10, at Whispering Woods Golf Club in Erie.

The top three teams and some individuals will qualify for the NCAA Division II championships, which will be held Monday, May 19, through Friday, May 23, at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

"We're trending in the right direction, so I think we have a good chance if we all play like we know how to," said Wagner, who is majoring in sports administration. "Our big goal right now is to get the team back to nationals because it will be the first time in a while that Millersville has done that."

Millersville golf coach Scott Vandegrift is optimistic but also understands the Marauders will face stiff competition. "We have the firepower to make it to nationals," Vandegrift said. "That's our goal every year. We've done it once in 2003. Why not this year?"

Wagner is the most decorated golfer in Solanco history. A four-time Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two scoring champion, he was fourth in the PIAA tournament his senior season, the highest state placing by a Mule duffer.

Wagner attended Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va., before transferring to Millersville University. "It was a new opportunity," he said. "Everything didn't really fall into place down there like I wanted it to, but I was very grateful to have that opportunity."

Once Wagner officially entered the transfer portal, he got a call from Vandegrift, who was Wagner's first golf coach when he was 6. Vandegrift was a youth golf instructor at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club and later coached Wagner on a PGA Junior League team.

Vandegrift explained that Wagner would be coming to a championship-caliber team, and nothing would be handed to him. Wagner was not able to compete for Millersville last spring but did practice with the squad, learning from his teammates, including the team's top player, Tim Peters.

Wagner did not make the starting lineup (as one of the team's top five players) in the fall of his sophomore season and wasn't in the team lineup to start the spring. Wagner competed as an Individual at IUP and Bloomsburg, and Vandegrift was impressed with the way Wagner conducted himself in those circumstances. Wagner earned a spot in the team lineup at F&M and for the region tournament.

"Logan is a smart young man and understands what it takes to get into our lineup," said Vandegrift. "He did well in the horrible weather (at IUP) and didn't say anything about not being in the starting lineup at Bloomsburg. ... He is learning how we play and learning to be a good team player. That's how we win."

Wagner plans to play a full schedule this summer. He will be in the field for the Delaware State Amateur and will enter qualifiers for the Pennsylvania State Amateur and the Pennsylvania Open. Wagner will take part in the R. Jay Sigel Amateur Match Play Championship and USGA events like the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur local qualifiers. "I want to stay busy and try to keep my game sharp," he said.
