NORMAN Okla. - For the second year in a row Nick Canales (2nd team) and Baylor Bostick (Honorable Mention) were named to the Ping All-American teams by the Golf Coaches Association of America, announced on Friday.
 
"Proud of the guys," UCO head men's golf coach Derrick Thompson said. "The season didn't end the way we wanted it to, but we had a great year and these two were such a big part of that. They deserve the honor and I am excited for them as they've been great and consistent leaders for our program."
 
Canales, a junior from Laporte, Texas, earned his third-consecutive All-America honor, adding to his list of career honors while boasting a 71.2 scoring average this season with one win at the season-opening event The Mule. Canales recorded 19 rounds of par or better, more than half of his 35 rounds played this season.
 
Bostick, a junior from Duncan, Oklahoma, won two events, the MSSU Fall Invitational and The MIAA Championship in April. He recorded a 72.1 scoring average and also had 19 rounds of par or better in 35 rounds played this season.
 
Canales and Boston were named all-region award winners earlier this year, while leading the Bronchos to a top-10 national ranking all season, and winning the MIAA championship.
 
The GCAA began naming NCAA Division II All-Americans in 1975, with PING sponsoring the award since at least 1991. For Division II, the First Team consists of eight golfers (nine if the individual national champion wasn't already named to the First Team), eight on the Second Team, eight on the Third Team, and at least 16 earn Honorable Mention All-America honors. Automatic additions from GCAA member schools to Honorable Mention if not previously named include top-15 finishers at the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship, the top two players in each All-Region ballot, and NCAA Division II Regional Medalists.
