Atlantic Sun Spring Sports Recap

More detail when I get back from camp, but here we go:

Outstanding Team -- East Tennessee State Men's Golf. Conference championship and a trip to the national tournament, finishing 18th. Nationally ranked all year, #14 going into nationals.

Runner-Up, Outstanding Team -- Stetson Baseball. Ranked in the low 20's all year. Won the conference regular season title going away. Earned an at-large bid to and won a game in the NCAA tournament, the only one awarded to a conference team in any sport all year.

Honorable Mention, Outstanding Team -- Jacksonville women's track. Sent two individuals to the NCAA's.

Outstanding Player -- Rhys Davies, ETSU golf. He's going to the U. S. Open. Yes. The U. S. Open. Sure, he won a conference title, was once ranked #1 in the country earlier this season, and did a good job in the NCAA's, but he's going to the U. S. Open. Dude.

Honorable Mention, Outstanding Player -- Corey Kluber, Stetson baseball. Conference pitcher of the year, 4th round draft pick by the Padres. Sam Tilley, Campbell men's track. Won a spot at the NCAA's in the long jump by finishing 5th at regionals. Natasha Harvey, Jacksonville women's track. 5th place in the regionals in the women's long jump, going to the NCAA's.

ETSU Golfer to the U. S. Open

Before we get to the complete A-Sun spring recap later this week, this event warrants its own post.

East Tennessee State golfer Rhys Davies earned medalist honors at the Rockville, MD U. S. Open qualifier yesterday, beating Joey Sindelar by 1 and Fred Funk by 2.

No word whether or not he's related to Sliders star Jonathan Rhys-Davies. How cool would that be.
