ATLANTA – Seven of the nine players on Georgia Tech’s NCAA runner-up golf team, including all-Americans Roberto Castro and Chan Song, are among the Georgia Tech student-athletes named to the 2004-05 Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll.
The 49th annual ACC Academic Honor Roll, announced by Commissioner John D. Swofford is comprised of those student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a grade point average of 3.0 or better for the full academic year.
Including Castro and Song, Mike Barbosa, Thomas Jordan, Adam Cohan, David Dragoo and Taylor Hall also made the list.
Castro, a first-team All-American and a sophomore from Alpharetta, Ga., finished third individually at the NCAA Championship and was the nation’s No. 4-ranked collegiate golfer at the end of the spring. Song, a second-team All-American and a senior from Orlando, Fla., and Barbosa, a junior from St. Petersburg, Fla., tied for 27th at the NCAA Championship and joined Castro on the All-ACC golf team.
Barbosa and Song also were named All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America, and Castro was named a third-team Academic All-America by CoSIDA, both of which require a 3.2 cumulative GPA.
All-ACC kicker Travis Bell, the sophomore from Roswell, Ga., leads a group of six current football players who made the ACC Honor Roll. Joining Bell is Tech’s starting center Kevin Tuminello and sophomore defensive tackle Darryl Richard, a projected starter before a season-ending knee injury. Other football players on the ACC Honor Roll include redshirt freshman tailback Loyall Gause, placekicker Troy Garside, and linebacker Mark Youngblood.
Six members of Tech’s nationally-ranked volleyball team made the ACC Honor Roll. Along with Gergen and Laband, Lauren Sauer, Katie Mohs, Ulrike Stegemann and Jacqui Beebe were recognized.
The ACC Honor Roll includes four of the top five players on the Yellow Jackets’ women’s tennis team, which reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time as Miller is joined by Kelly Anderson, Alison Silverio and Lyndsay Shosho.
Led by all-ACC outfielder Steven Blackwood, seven players from the Tech baseball team, the NCAA Atlanta Regional champions, made the ACC Honor Roll, including Jordan Crews, Tim Gustafson, Lee Hyde, Jake Hall, Cameron Lane and Ryan Turner.
Basketball players Keith Jones from the men’s team and Jessica Williams, Cheytoria Phillips and Guiliett Ancora from the women’s squad were named to the ACC Honor Roll, while Sarah Wood represents Tech’s nationally-ranked softball team.
In track and field, 21 members of the men’s team and 19 student-athletes from the women’s program were named to the ACC Honor Roll, led by the all-America Kidd as well as all-ACC honorees Anthony Hoover, Zeb Sion, Shanta Smith,
Seventeen women and 14 men from the swimming and diving programs are on the Honor Roll, led by the all-America Morgan as well as all-conference performers Jeremy Raines, Elizabeth Stowe and Anna Saum.
