NORMAN, Okla. - Northern Kentucky University golfers David Shearer and Mark Krahe have been named honorable mention PING/NCAA Division II All-Americans by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Shearer, a junior from Charlevoix, Mich., captured the medal at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships this spring by shooting 209 (-7) at the 54-hole event. Shearer finished with 16 birdies during that two-day event as NKU coasted to its first GLVC title since 2001.

Krahe, a senior from Edgewood, Ky., finished in fourth place at the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Super Regional this spring. He shot 72 during the final round and ended with a three-day total of 217.

NKU finished as runner-up at the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Super Regional with a three-round total of 885 (+21) at the par-72 Prairie Bluff Golf Club in Lockport, Ill.

At the GLVC Championships, Krahe totaled 219 and tied for fifth place.

A year ago, NKU golfer Curtis Phelps was named honorable mention All-American by the GCAA. Two years ago, the Norse’s Jon Ehlen earned honorable mention All-America accolades.
