DARLINGTON - The Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin announced Tuesday, Nov. 12 that Samantha Poss of Darlington High School is an academic all-state honoree for the girls' golf season that just concluded.
Students are nominated by GCAW member coaches if they meet the following criteria: A cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.25, participation in at least 75 percent of their team's varsity matches and are at least a sophomore in high school.
For maintaining high academic standards in the classroom while competing in varsity golf, 207 female golfers from around the state have been honored this year. The average cumulative GPA of this year's honorees is 3.781.
The GCAW was formed by high school golf coaches in 1986 to help build Wisconsin's reputation for developing quality junior players by promoting golf in schools and communities. Besides honoring both boys and girls who succeed as student athletes, the association selects an annual all-state team for boys and girls based on their playing ability. On March 1, 2012 an award honoring the high school team with the highest cumulative GPA was established.
