MARTINEZ, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference announced its men's golf Team of Academic Distinction on Tuesday which is presented by Barnes & Noble College. The teams are a part of the PBC's larger initiative to celebrate the academic achievements of PBC student-athletes and is modeled on the CoSIDA Academic All-America program.
 
Three Clayton State student-athletes were represented on Tuesday's list as Raul Carbonell, Javier Gonzalez and Augusto Oliva earned the academic honors.
 
The Lakers tied with USC Aiken for the most representatives on the Team of Academic Distinction.
 
The rest of the Teams of Academic Distinction will be released throughout the week. In the fall of 2020, cross country had their teams announced.

To be eligible for the team, a student-athlete must 1) participate in at least half of his/her team's events and be either a starter or significant contributor; 2) achieved a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and 3) completed at least one full academic year at his or her current institution and has reached sophomore athletic eligibility. The Peach Belt Conference Sports Information Directors oversee the program.
