DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University women's golf junior
Jaravee Boonchant has been tabbed to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) 2020 Academic All-District Women's At-Large Team, as announced by the organization Thursday. Â
The award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in athletic competition and in the classroom. Honorees selected First-Team Academic All-District® will advance to the Academic All-America® ballot and honorees for Division I will be announced June 19th.
Along with Boonchant earning CoSIDA accolades on the women's side, Duke had three men's selections – Chandler Eaton (men's golf), Eoin Gronningsater (fencing) and Nathaniel Hernandez (swimming & diving). A total of 10 men and women were selected to the first team for district III.
Boonchant earned the honor for the first time in her career, after turning in a 72.31 stroke average in five tournaments in 2019-20. A native of Bangkok, Thailand, Boonchant earned Golfweek Second Team All-America and was an ANNIKA Award Watch List selection. She finished the season ranked No. 14 nationally to go along with two top five and three top 10 finishes. Â
Over the last three seasons, Boonchant has collected a 71.95 stroke average, which ranks as the third-best in school history. The three-time All-America also owns 49 career rounds of even or under par and helped guide Duke to the 2019 NCAA Championship.
It marks the fourth straight year a Duke women's golfer has earned CoSIDA Academic All-District as Leona Maguire (2017 and 2018) and
Virginia Elena Carta (2019) received honors. Boonchant is a statistics major and owns a 3.58 grade-point average. Â
