Dale with President Larry Schall and Director of Golf Jim Owen
Oglethorpe University freshman Katie Dale learned on Monday that she was named to the National Golf Coaches Association 2006-2007 All-American Scholar Team. In doing so, Dale became the first freshman in school history to earn such a distinction as well as the first female in school history to earn the Academic All-American honor.
Only 368 women’s collegiate golfers from Division I, II and III were bestowed with this prestigious honor. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50 and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50% (Division I) or 66% (Division II & III) of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
