May 21, 2018

Jamie Jones, a junior architectural engineering technology major with a near-perfect GPA, has won the Elite 90 award for the 2018 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Champion-ship. He was in competition against 210 other student-athletes in the tournament. Jones hails from England.

Awarded by the NCAA, the Elite 90 recognizes the essence of student-athletes by honoring those who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in their sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. The Elite 90 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s championships.

Campus Times reported on Jones in its April 17 issue, about a trip he was taking to China this month to raise money for cancer awareness by walking the length of the country’s Great Wall.
