Last week, Schmitt was also one of 20 regional golfers named to the PING All-South Region Team that was announced. Schmitt is believed to be the first Wesleyan golfer to receive this honor from the GCAA.

"Frankie was a leader for us all of last season and started out the same way this Spring and I'm glad he gets this recognition, very deserving!" commented head golf coach Gregg Ripke

Schmitt led Wesleyan with two runner-up individual finishes in the fall as well as three other top 26 finishes in tournaments including an 18th place finish at Wesleyan's last and only event of the spring back in March at the Savannah Invitational.
