MUNCIE, Ind. -- Three members of the Ball State University men's golf team have been named 2006-07 Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Wayne Denger (Lebanon, Ind./Lebanon H.S.), C.D. Hockersmith (Richmond, Ind./Richmond H.S.) and Andy Skillman (Jasper, Ind./Jasper H.S) each received the academic honor. Each earned the honor for the second straight season.
“I am extremely proud of Wayne, C.D. and Andy for earning this honor the second time in their career,” says BSU head coach Mike Fleck. “All of our student-athletes do a tremendous job with their academics, so it's nice to see these three rewarded on a national scale for both their work in the classroom and what they did for us on the golf course.”
Only juniors and seniors are eligible to be a Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar and must have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade-point average. In addition, golfers must have under a 76.0 stroke average for Division I and compete in at least 75 percent of the team's scheduled events.
