Roggenkamp will join the Crusaders from La Center, Wash. where he is a senior at La Center High School. Finishing tied for 7th at the 2009 Washington 1A State Golf Championships in May, Tanner fired rounds of 74-70 over the par-72 Columbia Point Golf Club in Richland, Wash.
"We are excited to add Tanner to our team," Stensgaard commented. "He has the great combination of intense competitiveness and a relaxed personality that will make him a solid teammate and a successful collegiate golfer."
Roggenkamp qualified for the Washingotn 1A State Golf Championships all three years of his high school career and is a multi-sport prep athlete at La Center High, earning first-team All-Trico League honors on the basketball court this season.
Tanner becomes the second Roggenkamp to wear the Red and Black, joining his sister Brittney, who will be a senior forward on the NNU women's basketball team next season.
