Evan Thomas, the son of Steve and Karyl Thomas, is a native of Oskaloosa and will come to Penn from Indian Hills CC where he did not compete in golf.

A 2005 graduate of Oskaloosa HS, Thomas was a four-year letterwinner on the golf team. Taking up the game at the age of five, he has competed in numerous tournaments throughout Iowa. Thomas has five career hole-in-ones to his credit.

"Evan is very talented and consistent," Steinlage said. "He posts low score after low score and I am happy to add another talented player from Oskaloosa."





Gibb Whitlatch, the son of Steve and Jodi Hiemstra, is a native of Oskaloosa and will come to Penn from Oskaloosa HS.

A three-year letterwinner, he was the Senior MVP and was a member of one conference championship team. Performing his best in the biggest tournament of the year, Whitlatch led his team at districts as a junior and senior. He was also a two-time all-academic team honoree.

A strong student as well, Whitlatch was an Honor Roll student all four years of high school.

"Gibb is a great kid and will work hard to improve his game," Steinlage said. "He is a good local signing."



Kevin Wynn, the son of Jim and Brenda Wynn, is a native of Albia and will come to Penn from Albia HS.

A two-time Second-Team All-State selection, Wynn placed fifth in this spring's Class 2A state tournament. He earned three first-team all-conference laurels and was district champion as a senior.

"Kevin is one of the better players in this area and will be a strong competitor for us in the future," Steinlage said.

Penn finished fourth at this spring's Midwest Collegiate Conference Championships.
