Lewiston, ID- Seven Warrior golfers were named to the all-conference team Monday morning.  In addition to the individual player awards, head coach Paul Thompson was named “coach of the year” for the 2004-2005 season.  

Thompson, in his third year as head coach, received honors as coach of the year for the second time in his collegiate coaching career, both of those earned while here at LCSC.  This year also marks the first time either men’s or women’s team won the Region I tournament.  The men did so last week, receiving an automatic berth to Nationals.  

Two Warrior standouts from the women's golf team were awarded all-conference selections.  Boise native Nicole Olson made first team all-conference, where she was third in scoring having accumulated 1118 points this season, a 79.9 average score.   

Samara Kluever of Lewis-Clark State was selected as a second team honoree.  She had a total of 1198 points on the season and averaged 85.6 points per round.

The Warrior men had a great showing for the conference selections, with five total names added to this year’s list.  Aaron Curtis, Jeff Thoeny, and Shawn Krahling filled three of the five first team all-conference positions. 

Aaron Curtis had a point total of 1021 on the year and an average of 72.9 points.  Teammates Jeff Thoeny and Shawn Krahling totaled 1028 and 1032 points respectively to finish 4^th and 5^th overall.  Thoeny had an average of 73.4 points and Krahling averaged 73.7 points per round.

Warriors selected to the second team included junior Marc Vedder and sophomore Jeff Smith.
