The redshirt senior collected the award for the first time in his career
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — For the first time in his career, redshirt senior Jared Multer (Battle Creek, Mich.-Lakeview-Grand Rapids C.C.) of the Eastern Michigan University men's golf team was named the Mid-American Conference Scholar Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday, March 22.
Multer, who holds a 3.83 GPA in accounting, did his best to help rewrite the record books, as he finished tied with Duke's Alex Smalley for the runner-up spot at the GCU Invitational, March 17-18. Multer posted a personal-best 204 (69-66-69) to shatter his previous low of 213 set earlier this season at EKU Intercollegiate. The 54-hole total was just one shot shy of the program record established just 19 days ago by senior Kyle Rodes (Plymouth, Mich.-Plymouth) with a 203 (69-64 -70) at the Loyola Intercollegiate, Feb. 27.
The Battle Creek, Mich. native upped his game after a first round 69, to card a seven-under 29 on the back nine in the second round. Multer's previous low for a single round was at the Rutherford Intercollegiate, when he notched a 68 on the opening day, April 18-19, 2015.
The MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week honor is presented weekly to a MAC male and female student-athlete who has a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and performs well during the week's competition.
Eastern Michigan returns to action March 27-28 at the First Tee Collegiate Classic in Little Rock, Ark.
