MCC Golfer Advances To National Tournament

From School Reports

Meridian Community College golfer, Connor Cavin, is getting ready for a trip to the NJCAA National Division I  Golf Championship to  be held in Burlington, Iowa. Cavin qualified for the tournament by placing 10th at the Division I District IV Tournament recently held in Albany, GA. He shot 74, 76, 79 to punch his ticket to the dance.

He is the only individual to qualify from District IV which includes Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The MCC team missed qualifying by two strokes.

"Connor played well in tough conditions to qualify. The national tournament is a grueling four day event after two practice rounds" MCC head coach Ronnie Key said. "MCC has had a lot of success at this tournament and I feel Connor has the game to continue that success. Connor made first team all-state and has played well in big tournaments this year."

In the past four years, MCC has had two individual national champions (Brandt Garon- 2011) and Jake Sterling- 2012) and an individual runner-up ( TJ Morgan - 2013).
