NORMAN, Okla. – Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars for Divisions I, II and the NAIA have been announced by the GCAA. A new record number of student-athletes earned All-America Scholar status including 260 in Division I, 108 in Division II and 20 in NAIA.
 
Among those honored was Purple Aces senior Wil Pahud.  The Indianapolis native excelled in the classroom, earning a BS in Finance with a GPA of 3.384.  On the course, he was one of the top ten golfers in the Missouri Valley Conference.  His 73.67 average last season was 10^th in the league.  He excelled against some of the top competition in the country as he tied for third place at the Hoosier Invitational in April.
 
"Wilson provided outstanding senior leadership for our team this year.  He was one of the top golfers in the conference, but also excelled in the classroom," Aces head golf coach Jim Hamilton said.  "I am very proud of him for receiving this prestigious honor.  He worked very hard in school and on the course to earn this."
