A&D sophomore Caramia Sitompul has been named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team. Sitompul is one of 566 women’s Division I, II and III collegiate golfers, and the eighth Wolverine to be recognized for the prestigious honor.

University of Michigan women’s golfer Caramia Sitompul (Jakarta, Indonesia/​Bradenton Prep Academy [Fla.]) was named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team. Sitompul is one of 566 women’s Division I, II and III collegiate golfers to be recognized for the prestigious honor.

Sitompul, who is enrolled in the School of Art & Design, becomes the eighth Wolverine selected for the national honor, joining Tegan McCorkel (1994), Tiffany McCorkel (1994), Trish Watkins (1999), Amy Talbot (1999), Bess Bowers (2000), Sarah Kruer (2003) and Lindsay Davis (2005)

An Academic All-Big Ten and U‑M Athletic Achievement recipient, Sitompul started eight of the nine events in 2010-11. She ended her second season dropping nearly four strokes from her prior best, posting a 78.61 per-round average this season. She recorded career bests in virtually every statistical category, including single-round tally (73), 54-hole tournament total (225) and 72-hole tournament total (319). She helped the Wolverines to nine top-10 finishes and an NCAA Central regional selection — the program’s ninth postseason appearance (team and individual) in the last 11 years.

The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative grade-point average is 3.50, and student-athletes must have competed in at least 66 percent of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
