The Yellow Jackets golf team will be competing in another national championship. As the article states, Tech finished in fourth place at the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional, with seniors Christ Lamprecht and Bartley Forrester leading the team to a 7-under performance.
The championship will be held from Friday, May 24th through Wednesday, May 29th at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California. We wish the Georgia Tech men's golf team the best of luck as they compete in this year's Golf National Championship.
As exciting as it is to hear about Georgia Tech's athletic successes, it is equally gratifying to hear about the successes of our student-athletes in the classroom. This year's student-athletes were exemplary even by Polytechnic standards.
As the article notes, Tech's student-athletes posted “a 3.25 grade point average, the highest in Tech athletics history.” That's very impressive. The article also mentions some other impressive metrics set by this year's student-athletes. Congratulations to them as they continue to impress on and off the field.
ESPN's College Game Day will be held in Dublin, Ireland, with Georgia Tech and Florida State also participating, making it the first international game. FSU is the defending ACC Champion and this game presents a significant challenge for the Yellow Jackets. As mentioned in the article, Tech will likely have many of its key starters on the offensive line returning next season. Although FSU lost some key players, it should still be a strong contender for the ACC title.
The article states that this game will be a big test for the Yellow Jackets. Hopefully they can build on last season's success and a win against FSU would certainly be a great start. The game will take place on August 24th and will be televised by ESPN at 12:00 pm ET (5:00 pm Dublin time). #go jacket
