A look back at some of the sports happenings during the week of May 12-18:

Last year on May 16, 2023: Marlene Hagge-Vossler, a Hall of Fame player and the last surviving founder of the LPGA Tour, has died at 89. Marlene Bauer was born in Eureka and learned to play golf at Lee Park (then Hyde Park) in Aberdeen where her father Dave Bauer ran the course and the family lived in the clubhouse. Hagge-Vossler won 26 LPGA Tour events, including the 1952 LPGA Championship, and she was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 89. At age 15, Marlene was named the 1949 Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. The following year in 1950, she and 12 other women — including her older sister, Alice Bauer — founded the LPGA Tour.

10 years ago on May 12, 2014: Jay Huber, 39, of Clark pitched his first no-hitter as he struck out nine in the Traders’ 7-0 shutout of South Dakota amateur baseball perennial powerhouse Dimock-Emery.

20 years ago on May 15, 2004: Northern State’s Kristin Peterson (Arlington) and Baron Blanchard (Kindred, ND) were chosen as the women’s and men’s student-athletes of the year in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Peterson was a 10-time all-NSIC track athlete and Blanchard won four conference wrestling titles.

30 years ago on May 14, 1994: Wisconsin angler Gary Parsons earned $25,000 by winning the In-Fisherman Pro Walleye Tour stop in Mobridge. Winning the amateur title in the three-day event was Greg Hochhalter of Mobridge.

40 years ago on May 13, 1984: The South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference Track and Field Championships in Rapid City were a wild affair. South Dakota Tech ended the Black Hills State men’s reign of 12 years as champions. It was Tech’s first SDIC men’s title in program history. Meanwhile, the Dakota State women went home thinking Black Hills State had won the title over them by one point. On the ride home, however, Dakota State found a mistake as one of its runners was listed as a Black Hills State runner on the scoring sheet. They called back to meet host Tech and Tech declared Dakota State as the women’s champion. The next day, another check revealed the meet actually ended in a tie between Dakota State and Black Hills. Two days later in a final check by conference officials, Dakota State was announced as the real champion by one point.

50 years ago on May 18, 1974: There were $218,671 of bets made during the three weekends of horse racing in Fort Pierre.
