The Texas Wesleyan University men’s golf team excelled on the course and in the classroom this year. The NAIA has announced the 2006-07 Scholar Teams for all sponsored sports, and the Rams were among those honored. To earn that distinction a team must earn at least a 3.0 team grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) during 2006-07 academic year, as defined by its institution. The Rams, who featured two Daktronics-NAIA Men’s Golf Scholar Athletes in Mitch Hendon (Jr., Burleson) and Justin Smith (Sr., Runaway Bay, TX), posted a team GPA of 3.03. This is the first time the golf team has been recognized as a Scholar Team by the NAIA. 
Texas Wesleyan Volleyball will host the first annual Wesleyan-Hughes Volleyball Classic Sept. 14-15, 2007. The tournament will support the Becky Hughes endowment, and will kick off with the Saturday Volleyball Alumni Reunion and conclude with the Annual Alumni Match.
