Walker Beck Chosen To Attend NCAA Leadership Forum

The Murray State men's golf student-athlete, Walker Beck, was recently chosen by the Ohio Valley Conference to attend the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum.

The OVC selected one man and one woman to attend the conference (Nov. 18-21) in Houston, Texas.

Beck, from Newburgh, Indiana is in his third year with the Racer men's golf team and is majoring in finance at Murray State University.

"This is something that I am excited about and I am glad to represent Murray State and the OVC at the conference," Beck said. "I am looking forward to learning as much as I can so that I can be a better teammate and leader in our golf program."

"We're very proud of the example Walker sets within the culture of our golf team," said head coach Daniel DeLuca. "We love the game of golf and put a lot into it every day, but it's things like this that creates a learning environment and that's why we are here. I appreciate the NCAA and OVC for this kind of learning opportunity for our student-athletes as it creates leaders among our student-athletes."
