NORMAN, Okla. -- The Kenyon College men's golf team heads into the winter among the top teams in the country, securing a No. 2 ranking and three first place votes in the Bushnell/Golfweek DIII Coaches' Poll.

The Owls only trailed the No. 1 ranked Emory University (372 points) who picked up 12 of 15 first place votes in the final poll. Kenyon closed the gap on Emory picking up 361 points in the vote, an increase from the previous October 16 poll where they closed a total of 324 points. There was major movement below with Carnegie Mellon University (343 points) jumping to No. 3, Huntingdon College (323) sliding to No. 4 and Illinois Wesleyan University (316) rising to No. 5.

Kenyon posted a successful fall on all accounts with their only tournament losses attributed to the top five teams in the country at the time of the event. In four events the Owls boasted one win, two runner up finishes and a lone third place finish. Playing against ranked teams every week, Kenyon compiled a record of 57-4-0 and a 279.91 scoring average in 12 rounds.

The Owls also boast three players inside the top 30 in the country with Alex Harwood, Connor Gray, and Jaiden Koonar ranked (in order) No. 24 through No. 26 in the individual SCOREBOARD rankings.

Grant Wallace and the Owls will look ahead to the beginning of their fall season in Pinehurst, NC on March 9, at the Hampden-Sydney Tiger Invite.
