Overland Park,, Kan - The Mid-America Intercollegiate
Athletics Association champion Washburn Ichabods (41.5 points in the
MIAA standings) had three players earn honors on the 2002-03 All-MIAA
Golf Team.
The Ichabods won the MIAA championship after
tying for second in the regularseason-ending MIAA Tournament on Tuesday
(April 29) in Lawrence, Kan. The championship also qualifies WU to play
in the NCAA Division II Central/Great Lakes Super Regional at Bolivar,
Mo., May 5-7.
WU is represented by seniors Derek Dultmeier
and Cam Hubbard, along with junior Garrett Donovan. Dultmeier has been
the Ichabods' low scorer in their last three events, earning medalist
honors twice and finishing sixth at the MIAA meet. Donovan carded a
four-over 112 in 27 holes played Tuesday to rally WU. The trio is the
first to earn all-MIAA honors since Mike Roe was named to the team during
the 98-99 school year.
The All-MIAA Team is selected based on a point
system determined by the players' finish at the five conference-sanctioned
events played this season ú two in the fall and three in the
spring.The lowest scorer in each meet is
awarded 10 points, while the 10th lowest is given one point. This is
the seventh year the system has been used to determine the honorees.
Four players earned All-MIAA recognition for
the second time in their careers. Seniors Mickey Carpenter and Kyle
Long from league runner-up Missouri Southern (40.5 points) along with
sophomore Nick Layman of Southwest Baptist (25 points) were repeaters
from last season, while junior Dusty Smith of SBU is back after making
the list as a freshman in 2000-01.

with a 3-over par 219 over 54 holes.
Freshman Brice Garnett of Missouri Western (33 points) was the only
player to be in the top 10 in all five MIAA events this season.
