GCAA Names Three Lobos All-American Scholars

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M— Three Lobos, Augustin Holé, Andre Garcia and Sean Carlon of the University of New Mexico golf team have been named by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) as Srixon/Cleveland All-American Scholars.

The trio are among just 266 Division I men’s collegiate golfers that were recognized on the prestigious list.
 
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 (in Division I) and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
 
Last season as a junior, Holé finished first on the team for par-4 scoring and was also named to the Spring 2018 All-Mountain West Team for his outstanding efforts last season.

Garcia also earned a spot on the 2018 Spring All-Mountain West Team for his performance. Additionally, he was honored with the 2017-18 Mountain West Scholar-Athlete Award.

Carlon, who finished the season with a low round of 69 and eight finishes of par or better, was also honored with a spot on the Spring 2018 All-Mountain West Team.

As a team, the Lobos were named the Academic National Champions by the GCAA, finishing the Spring semester with an outstanding 3.89 grade point average. That mark was the highest GPA for a men’s athletic team in Lobo history.
