MITCHELL — Megan Hinker closed out her Dakota Wesleyan golf career with a nod to the Great Plains Athletic Conference first team.

Hinker finished tied for second at the GPAC championships in Spencer, Iowa, shooting a three-day score of 247.

She was the GPAC women’s golfer of the week for the week of March 20-26 after finishing tied for first at the Meadow Lake Intercollegiate in Oklahoma. She earned the same recognition on April 6 after a third-place showing during the opening meet at the Moundbuilder Spring Invite.

It is the fourth season in a row Hinker has earned all-GPAC recognition.

Erin Moncur was also recognized for DWU, earning a spot on the second team. Moncur, a Miller native, was tabbed to the all-conference team last season as well.
