The Stevens Point Area Senior High School (SPASH) girls golf team placed each of its four eligible members on the 2019 Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin (GCAW) Academic All-State Team.
In addition to helping the Panthers win the Wisconsin Valley Conference Title and reach the WIAA State Tournament this season, junior Megan Bonikowske and seniors Leah Earnest, Abby Nickel and Ally Nickel each received a designation of High Honors on the Academic All-State Team.
Students are nominated by GCAW member coaches if they meet the following criteria: 1) A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25, 2) participation in at least 75 percent of their team’s varsity matches, and 3) are at least a sophomore in high school.
A total of 342 girls from 100 Wisconsin high schools were honored this year for maintaining high academic standards in the classroom, while competing in varsity golf.
In fact, the average cumulative GPA of this year’s honorees is an exceptional 3.881.
