Schmidt

University of Wisconsin-Whitewater golfers Kendall Egnarski and Diana Schmidt were named to the All-American Scholar Team compiled by the National Golf Coaches Association for the 2006-2007 school year.

Student athletes need to have a minimum of a 3.50 (A-/B+) cumulative grade point average and participate in at least two-thirds of their team's competitions to be recognized on the Division III level.

Egnarksi, a senior from Watertown, earned a 3.70 grade point with a management computer systems major at UW-W. MCS is a cooperative major sponsored by UW-W's College of Business and Economics and the College of Letters and Sciences. She finished sixth in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship in the fall of 2006, and tenth in that tourney as a junior. She recorded two rounds in UW-W's list of top eighteen hole scores for 2006-2007, eighth at 82 and ninth with an 83, both in September. She is tenth in the UW-W record book with a 77 for eighteen holes in April 2005. Egnarski was the WIAC's Judy Kruckman Scholar Athlete for Golf, and added UW-Whitewater's Chancellor's Scholar Athlete Award in April.

Schmidt, a sophomore from Mukwonago, has a 3.63 grade point with an accounting major in UW-W's College of Business and Economics. Schmidt shot back-to-back 80's at the Illinois Wesleyan Fall Classic September 16-17, with the eighteen hole rounds tying for fourth best on the team in 2006-2007 and the 36-hole total of 160 third best for the season. Schmidt tied for twelfth in the 2006 WIAC Championship.

Sixty-three National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III student athletes were recognized by the NGCA.
