ROLLA, Mo. – A week after earning honors from the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Missouri S&T's Carl Miltun (Gilbert, AZ/Williams Field) and Jeppe Thybo (Esbjerg, Denmark/Rybners Gymnasium) have been selected to the PING All-Midwest region team for the 2023-24 season by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Miltun, the GLVC's Player of the Year, completed a standout career for the Miners that saw him earn first-team All-GLVC honors in all four seasons at S&T.  This season, Miltun finished third at the GLVC Championships as he recorded a stroke average of 70.7 shots per round.  He finished fifth or better in seven of the team's 11 tournaments, which included a win at the Maverick Spring Invitational in Arizona in February, a second place finish and two third place showings in events this season.

He finished last week's NCAA Division II Central/Midwest Regional in a tie for 23^rd place with a one-under-par score of 209 and was the 43^rd-ranked player in NCAA Division II.  He became the first Miner to earn the GLVC's Player of the Year award this season.

Over his S&T career, Miltun earned medalist honors and being named as the GLVC's Freshman of the Year in 2020-21 while also earning an at-large spot to compete at the NCAA regional tournament.  He has followed that up with three more first-team All-GLVC awards and won medalist honors again in record fashion during his junior season, where he set GLVC marks for the lowest score for a round, lowest score for a tournament and lowest score to par.  He was named to the PING All-America second team and All-Midwest region team after the 2022-23 campaign.

Miltun capped the 2022-23 season by finishing fifth at the Central/Midwest Regional and tied for 14^th at the NCAA Division II Championships.

Thybo had a strong season as well for S&T, finishing the season as the medalist at the Arch Cup and the Ken Partridge Invitational among his three top-five finishes during the year that earned him first-team All-GLVC honors.  He had an additional finish among the top 10 this season as he averaged around 73 shots per round over the course of the campaign.

He was S&T's top performer at the regional last week as he finished in a tie for 14^th place with a score of 207 and shot a 67 in the opening round of competition.  He had six top-10 finishes last season and tied for 20^th at the Central/Midwest Regional as well as finishing in a tie for 36^th at the NCAA Division II Championships.

A total of 12 individuals were named to each of the eight all-region teams and in the Midwest Region, the Miners had two of the four student-athletes from the GLVC.  The others were Bryson Oots from William Jewell and Simon Engman from the University of Indianapolis.

During the 2023-24 season, the Miners won two tournaments, finished second in five other tournaments and took third in the stroke play portion of the GLVC Championships before finishing as the conference runner-up in match play.  S&T finished sixth at the NCAA Division II Central/Midwest Regional last week in Edmond, Okla.
