NORMAN, Okla. – The NM State men's golf team was named an All-Academic Team by the Golf Coaches Association of America with seniors Mike McGilton and Tadhg Campbell picking up Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar honors, the GCAA announced.
 
To qualify for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar awards, a student-athlete must be a junior or a senior, compete in 50-percent of their team's rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 78.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2.
 
This is the second All-American Scholar honor in a row for McGilton who was also named First-Team All-WAC. The Chandler, Ariz., native led the Aggies in stroke-average as he averaged 72.31 over 35 rounds. Campbell also excelled both in the classroom and on the course as he posted the second-lowest stroke-average on the squad with a 73.41. Aggie golfers have now been named All-American Scholars 20 times.
 
As a team, New Mexico State received its second GCAA All-Academic Team award in the last three years, and third overall, with the 2016-17 and 2012-13 squads also earning the honor. For consideration, a college or university must submit GPAs for each player on their official squad list for the academic year and the team GPA must be 3.0 or higher.
