East Carolina Men's Golf Duo Honored For Academic Achievement

Jason Harris

East Carolina juniors Jason Harris and Calle Andren have been named as 2003 Golf Coaches
Association of America All-American Scholars, announced today by Cleveland Golf.

To earn Cleveland Golf All-American Scholar status, student-athletes must be a junior or a senior and participate in at least 70 percent of their team’s competitive rounds while maintaining a 3.2 grade-point average and a scoring average under 76.

Harris finished the 2002-03 season with a 72.9 stroke average playing in 12 tournaments with six top-10 finishes. His best finish came when he shot a two-day total of 135 at the Georgetown Hoya Invitational, claiming the individual championship. Harris also earned third team All
C-USA honors the season. In May, Harris was named to ECU’s 2003 PCS Phosphate All-Academic Team, in recognition of having the best cumulative GPA on the golf team.

Andren competed in nine tournaments this past season, with a stroke average of 75.3. On Sept. 23-24, he completed his best performance of the
year when he shot a team-low 215 at the Carolina First Intercollegiate. This is the second academic team selection for Andren this year as he was named to the 2003 Verizon Academic All-District III At-Large team in May.

“I am extremely proud of the effort of these two young men in the classroom and on the golf course,” said ECU head coach Kevin Williams. “They
represent the type of student-athletes we want in our golf program and it makes recruiting more like them easier when these awards come out.”

Harris and Andren are the third and fourth Pirates to be named All-American Scholars by the GCAA and the first since Kevin Miller of
Erwin, N.C., was selcted in 1997 and 1998.
