Golf's Blankvoort Named To Verizon Academic All-District 2 At-Large First Team
May 15, 2002
WASHINGTON, DC - GW golfer Thomas Blankvoort (The Hague, Netherlands/ International School of the Hague) has been named to the 2001-02 Verizon Academic All-District 2 University Division At-Large First Team in a vote by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). He maintained a 3.71 grade-point average in international business as a graduate student at GW. Nine others joined Blankvoort on the All-District 2 First Team in addition to a 10-member Second Team.
Blankvoort is a three-time golf team MVP. His 73.1 scoring average led the team and he has posted 11 top 20 finishes for GW this season. His low round of the year was a 66 which tied a 45-year-old school record set in 1957 by Jay Randolph, a member of the GW Athletic Hall of Fame and now a golf sportscaster for ESPN. The six-under-par effort established a new school record for most strokes under par in a single round. He shot a three-under 141 to win the Rehoboth Beach Invitational and was second at the Scotty Duncan Memorial with a 145.
Blankvoort was named the 2002 recipient of the J. Dallas Shirley Outstanding Senior Male Athlete Award May 3, the highest honor a GW male student-athlete can receive. GW golf coach Scott Allen called Blankvoort the best player we've had at GW since Randolph.
