Fifth-year senior J.J. Sullivan earned academic all-conference honors for the fourth straight year. An Omaha native, Sullivan graduated in December with a degree in finance. Sullivan leads Nebraska with a 74.94 stroke average during the 2003-04 season, and has recorded six top-20 individual finishes this spring.

 

First team members are those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, while the second team are those who have a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.

 

Nebraska is next in action on April 26-27 at the Big 12 Men’s Golf Championships in Hutchinson, Kan.
