• On Wednesday, April 24, dentists affiliated with Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic, aided by Palm Beach State Dental Health students, will treat adults, 18 and older, at the Dental Health building on the Lake Worth campus. Due to time and space limitations, a maximum of 50 patients will be seen for the day, and treatment will be limited to fillings and extractions. By focusing the treatment in this way, the dentists will be able to do the most good and bring relief to low-income adults who have put off this type of treatment due to the cost.

As a result, the dentists will not perform dental check-ups, cleanings or advanced dental work, such as crowns and bridges.

COMMUNITY Palm Beach County Residents To Life-Metrics Mobile App Wins Gather At Cityplace For Healthy FAU’s Business Plan Competition Moms And Strong Babies

Thousands of families and local business leaders will join together for the premier community event March for Babies on Saturday, April 27 at CityPlace.

March for Babies is a day for everyone.

At March for Babies, our community bands together to fight for the health of all moms and babies. Participants enjoy the opportunity to hope for the day when all moms and babies are healthy, remember those babies we lost and honor them with special tributes throughout the day, and celebrate with a three mile walk and fun activities for the whole family.

Kirsten Dolan, CEO of One Parking and 2019 March for Babies CoChair, knows how important it is to fight for the health of all moms and babies.

“The advances and discoveries that have been made recently reinforce why these walks are so important,” she says. “The funds we all raise help make the research and therefore, results and change, possible.”

March of Dimes gives the 4 million babies born each year the best possible start. Nearly half a million of them are born prematurely or with birth defects. Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributors to infant death in the U.S., and pregnancy-related death has more than doubled over the past 25 years.

Alongside Kirsten, Mark Pratt, COO of One Parking, has been planning this event for the last year. Together, they are asking local businesses and community leaders to join them in support of March for Babies. “The number of

babies born prematurely here in Florida and across the country is not acceptable,” Pratt says. “March of Dimes empowers families with programs, knowledge and tools to have healthy babies and families.”

Every March for Babies participant can make a huge difference for families. Anyone interested in joining the Palm Beach County walk can register at marchforbabies.org/event/palmbeachcounty.

All participants will enjoy a fun day that includes our Superhero Sprint, face painting, lei ceremony recognizing family teams, and entertainment on stage. The walk and location have been adjusted this year due to construction within CityPlace.

The alternate route will be approximately a 1.7 mile walk downtown, while the main event will happen along the streets and at the intersection of Rosemary Avenue and Hibiscus Street.

March for Babies is sponsored nationally by Kmart, Famous Footwear, HCA, Cigna and regionally by Publix Super Markets, Inc. March for Babies is sponsored locally by Platinum Sponsors One Parking and Tenet Health; Gold Sponsors Florida Public Utilities, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Fetal Care Center, and Palms West Hospital; Silver Sponsors Barry & Company, Bethesda Hospital, CityPlace, Florida Power and Light, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health Specialty Center, Wellington Regional Medical Center; Bronze Sponsors Jupiter Medical Center and Brightline; and Media Partners Sunny 107.9 and The Boca Raton Tribune.

Life-Metrics, an activity tracking mobile app, won first place and $10,000 in prize money at the annual Florida Atlantic University Business Plan Competition, recently hosted by FAU’s Adams Center for Entrepreneurship and the College of Business at the FAU Office Depot Center on the Boca Raton campus.

Created by Wilkes Honors College student David Gorski, the Life-Metrics app platform establishes quantitative connections between health/usage data and psychological/ physical well-being. By bringing together a wealth of data already available with cutting-edge machine learning, Life-Metrics aims to “create a world in which we all know precisely how our habits affect our lives.” Earlier this year, Gorski won $2,500 for his venture as one of the winners of the Kenan Social Engagement Program Scholarship.

“It feels great knowing that people believe in my vision,” Gorski said. “A lot of the work of an entrepreneur is long nights without much direct reward so it’s great to see people, especially other professionals and entrepreneurs, respond so positively to your work. There were a lot of great businesses and presenters at the Business Plan Competition, so to win is a great honor.”

Second prize and $5,000 went to Daisy, a nonprofit organization that aims to facilitate the donation of feminine hygiene products to homeless and at-risk women by selling “period kits” to shelters or homeless resource centers. Daisy’s founder, Amanda Barstow, is also a Wilkes Honors College student and winner of a 2019 Kenan Social Engagement Program Scholarship that provided a $10,000 seed grant for her

www.bocaratontribune.com

venture. By participating in the Business Plan Competition, Barstow said she was able to grow both personally and grow her vision for Daisy.

“I was also able to effectively workshop my business plan through suggestions made by various judges,” she said. “There wasn’t one pitch where I didn’t receive useful feedback or an interesting idea to implement. All of this experience would have been reward enough for me but I also ended up with additional seed funding, which will make it possible for me to really get my idea off the ground.”

NERD, an autonomous robotic delivery service specializing in food and snack delivery on college campuses, took third place and $2,500. Using autonomous robots, NERD, which stands for NEarby Robotic Delivery, solves the last-mile delivery problem and helps increase staff and student productivity throughout the day.

“The biggest thing we gained out of this competition was experience,” said Alexander Roscoe, developer of NERD. “Being engineers, the whole process was a learning process.

We were able to make valuable connections as well as gain exposure for our company.”

The People’s Choice winner of a $1,000 prize was MILÁMU, which aims to help eliminate skin deficiencies and enhance natural beauty by crafting 100 percent natural essential oil blends. The company also offers a line of bracelets and accessories made from semi-precious stones and pearls.

To positively affect the community, MILÁMU partners with a different philanthropic organization and donates up to 20 percent of purchases to the cause.

Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer Honors First Graduate Of Boca Raton Public Library’s Career Online High School

At the April 9 City Council meeting, Mayor Scott Singer presented a proclamation declaring April 7–13 National Library Week in Boca Raton.

This national initiative highlights the valuable role that libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. Also at the meeting, Mayor Singer recognized Ba’Theicia Bennett as the first recipient of the library’s Career Online High School (COHS) program.

COHS offers residents the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma along with a credentialed career certificate.

Be’Theicia was one of the first scholarship recipients and the first graduate of the library’s COHS program. She started the online program in September 2018 and completed it in February 2019. Since then, Be’Theicia has enrolled in college to pursue a career in education.

Recognized as the first accredited private online school district, COHS is specifically designed to reengage adults, ages 19 and older, into the education system and prepare them for postsecondary career education or the workforce. To be considered for the program, applicants must complete an online self-assessment and in-person interview with library staff. Once enrolled, COHS pairs each student with an Academic Coach, and students are given up to 18 months to complete the program. Currently, the Boca Raton Public Library has seven students enrolled in the program with two students on track for graduation.

Scholarships from the State of Florida are available for qualified learners who enroll in the COHS program. The enrollment period for BRPL’s COHS program ends May 1. The library hopes to offer program enrollment again in September 2019.

Remember to Read Something Over the Spring Break

Today, 196,000 students in the School District of Pam Beach County will begin their coveted spring-break.

And while many students will be heading to local camps or even mini family vacations, many - especially those who are at-potential - will sit idle or do worse. (Many will also go hungry.)

I am calling on parents to encourage your children to pick up a book and read it during the break. After all, anything school-related can sound like “homework” to students. And I know that when the options include swimming, streaming videos or playing video games, going to the mall or hanging out with friends, reading can sometimes be a hard sell.

Studies however show that at-potential children are at a greater risk of losing what they earned when classes are not in session.

Recently, I encouraged some of my mentees to read something over the Spring Break and their response was quite interesting. For a minute, I

thought they were unionized. Some see the break as a respite from class.

“Spring Break is our time to get away from school and condition our minds for the weeks leading up to summer,” one reasoned.

My seniors see it as a rite of passage or a reward for slogging through the stressful SATs, personal essays and arduous college admissions process.

While they do not care about reading, some will do so to amuse or even appease me.

When I pointed out that the most recent study ranks the quality of education in Florida at number 25, students should be spending more days in the classroom or a learning environment than they do.

That kicked off a lively debate.

One, who should be destined to an Ivy League college, quickly pointed out that by spending more time in a school building does not always result in a better student. Instead, she said, more time

in a learning environment could be a better alternative.

State law requires Palm Beach County schools to hold 180 days of instruction time. In comparison, students in Japan spend 243 days - 63 days longer. And the standard school year in Israel, the Netherlands, Scotland and West Germany is 200 days or more. It should be noted thought that although those countries spend more time in school, this does not mean they are receiving more instruction.

I concur that the antidote is not simply more time in class. In countries that outperform the U.S., students spend less time in class, not more.

Children—especially elementary-age students—learn through play and activities.

I also think students should not have to be physically at school every day or all day. This will allow for other learning opportunities and environments to be integrated into a child’s education.

Unfortunately, we would have a better chance of making Palm Beach County the state capital than getting the school district to change the school calendar.

Any such move would be countered with opposition from the teachers’ union, vocal families, the tourism industry and any and everything that could improve academic achievement.

As a proponent of year-round school, I think there should be the equivalent of eight weeks of vacation distributed throughout the year—two weeks every season.

This certainly will reduce the frequency and extent of summer learning loss. It will also afford students an opportunity to job shadow or participate in experiential trips outside of their community or city.

And as I told those students, in the end, their hard work, sacrifice and dedication over Spring Break could be the real keys to their personal and professional success.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Unveiling Your True Identity!

A person, most often, develops a relationship with another on the basis of what each knows, and comes to like, about the other. This is true in neighborhoods, at the work place, in social clubs, in religious institutions, among fellow students, and in many additional settings where people operate.

Many of these will never surpass a mere wave of the hand each time they pass one another, maybe an actual handshake, besides an occasional brief exchange of words of limited significance. Such can easily happen even among people who had never met before, but which came to find

sufficient reason to share some words based on a common experience at a particular moment.

There are others who go a bit deeper, and may even engage in conversation each time they pass each other.

Perhaps a world or national event of some significance may cause comments to be made and even a dialogue to unfold.

Yet, at these two levels just described, chances are that nothing extra will occur unless there is a deliberate effort, and a corresponding response, which enables ties to be established between two or more individuals. That may de-

pend on how much of one’s personal identity is honestly, gradually, and mutually disclosed; when some form of trust is established among the parties!

A person’s looks, speech, and many other factors can be partially helpful, just as they can also be totally deceptive. That’s why I often recommend to individuals and audiences I address: Be sure your identity is manifested far more by who you are, rather than merely by things you possess!

It’s quite sad, albeit true, that far too many people today prefer to operate more on the basis of appearance than reality. Many talk quite well and too

much, yet never adding the ingredients that truthfully point to who they actually are as a person!

Nevertheless, you can develop a set of easy questions which can be posed to an individual you become interested in knowing better and developing mutual trust. Then, together, you can impact other lives with the values of integrity and solid attitudes you can model through all you do! In all you are and do, just be real; and make that as contagious as you can!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Luxury Chamber of Commerce Event at Ruth Chris

I attended beloved Boca philanthropist, Helen Babione’s 90th birthday celebration luncheon at St. Joan of Arc Church Social Hall in Boca Raton. So many Boca Raton leaders and familiar faces were there to help Helen celebrate her special day. What an awesome event!

Are You Minding Your Own Business?

When we use the term “minding your own business,” we typically refer to not getting involved in or interfering with someone else’s business.

However, life in the business and professional world can often be a lonely, solitary pursuit. This is especially true for entrepreneurs and top executives, but it also applies to most of us, regardless of our position on the organizational chart.

If we are confident and self-assured, it can be easy to prefer to “mind our own business” and not engage with others in making decisions or seeking to solve problems. “I can do it myself.”

“I want to pull myself up by my own bootstraps – I do not need anyone’s help.”

We may feel this way at times, but it is wise to consider the admonition, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). In contrast to that, we also read, “Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 18:12).

I cannot count how many times I was involved in publishing a newspaper or magazine, when I saw the truth of the adage, “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” There are many reasons trying to succeed in the business world by oneself is unwise.

Here are some cited in the Bible:

None of us is as smart as all of us combined. Working together toward a common objective provides the opportunity for shared wisdom and experience, different perspectives and insights.

“For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure”

(Proverbs 11:14). “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed”(Proverbs 15:22). “As iron

sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17).

We need encouragement during good times, correction during times of difficulty and temptation. Even during prosperous times, we need support. And caring encouragers will challenge us whenever it seems we might be drifting off course. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…” (Hebrews 10:24-25). “See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily…so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” (Hebrews 3:12-13).

Each of us has something to offer. With our varied skills and talents, we can all contribute toward achieving the desired goals and mission we have established. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! …

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).

Others can provide spiritual redirection when needed. Many in the business and professional world have accountability partners and mentors that they can count on for advice, prayer support, and admonition as well, when necessary. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Safiya George, Ph.D., Named Dean Of The College Of Nursing

Florida Atlantic University has named Safiya George, Ph.D., as the new dean of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. She is only the third dean to be appointed in the college’s 40-year history.

George previously served as a member of the faculty at Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing until she was recruited in 2015 to the Capstone College of Nursing at the University of Alabama, where she has served as assistant dean for research, director of the Office of Scholarly Affairs, and a member of the advisory board of the Alabama Life Research Institute. She also has served as faculty in the Honors College and facultyin-residence for residential honors students at the University of Alabama.

George will assume her role as dean effective July 8, where she will spearhead FAU’s College of Nursing, which is nationally and internationally known for its excellence and philosophy of caring science. She also will oversee and build upon the college’s vibrant research focus areas, which include healthy aging across the lifespan, health equity, holistic health, and transforming health care environments. The college enrolls more than 1,100 students in four nursing degree programs on campuses in Boca Raton and Davie, as well as at Harbor Branch in Fort Pierce, offering bachelor’s, master’s, Ph.D. and the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree programs. The college has nearly 7,000 alumni and more than two-thirds of them reside in South Florida and provide vital health care services in the region.

“We are very pleased to announce the new dean of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing following a national search,” said Bret Danilowicz, Ph.D., FAU provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We warmly welcome Dr. George to our Florida Atlantic University family to continue the college’s legacy of outstanding educational programs, research, practice, and service missions. Her leadership and research productivity demonstrate the quality as well as quantity of her work and also signals her national reputation in the areas of holistic health, spirituality and HIV. We extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Marlaine Smith for her numerous contributions and successes in her role as dean since 2011.”

George earned her Ph.D. and MSN degrees from Emory University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University in religion and health.

Since 2015, under her leadership, Capstone College of Nursing has experienced tremendous growth in scholarly activities, including significant increases in extramural funding. She is described as a great mentor, role model and colleague by executive leadership, faculty, staff and students at the Capstone College of Nursing.

George’s primary research area

April 26 - May 2, 2019

aims to promote the health and holistic well-being of individuals with or at risk for HIV/AIDS through evidence-based psychosocial interventions focused on social determinants of health. Her research previously has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), including the National Institutes of Nursing Research, the Georgia Department of Community Health, the John Templeton Foundation, Emory University Religion and Public Health Collaborative, the Biomedical Imaging Technology Center, and the University of Alabama.

George’s current work is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, HRSA, ViiV Healthcare’s Southern Initiative Positive Action program, and the NIH-funded Resource Center for Minority Aging Research.

In addition, she has received a number of honors and recognitions for her work. Most recently, she received the 2019 President’s Faculty Research Award at the University of Alabama in April. Her holistic approach to research also garnered her an international award in 2015 – the Daniel J. Pesut Spirit of Renewal Award.

In 2017, George was elected to serve on the international board of directors for Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society for Nursing, where she also has held numerous leadership roles, including chair of the International Service Taskforce, elected member of the Leadership Succession Committee and vice president of the Epsilon Omega Chapter.

George is a board certified adult nurse practitioner (ANP). In 2018, she was inducted as a fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

“I am both humbled and excited about the opportunity to join the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and to serve as dean. I truly look forward to working with everyone, including our phenomenal faculty, staff, students, alumni, advisory board as well as members of the community-atlarge,” said George. “I have a passion for people, holistic health, caring and nursing science and I believe that I can contribute to and further support the impressive initiatives and programs at the college and across the campus. I already have grown to love Florida Atlantic University and the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, especially the caring philosophy that transcends and represents everything about the college.”

The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is ranked No.1 in online graduate nursing programs in Florida and No. 23in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.

In 2017, with a 100 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®), FAU BSN graduates, first-time test takers, ranked among the highest (No.1) in Florida and the United States.

Two Palm Beach Atlantic Seniors Chosen for Fulbright Awards

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program has selected two students to teach English and serve abroad after graduation.

James Davisson and Allison Rice will participate in the English Teaching Assistant Program in South Korea and Bulgaria, respectively. A Fulbright is a highly-selective, prestigious award for international study that aims to foster understanding between U.S. citizens and those of other countries. During their terms, Davisson and Rice will live, work, learn and serve with people from their host countries.

Davisson, a senior majoring in intercultural studies and minoring in politics, will teach English to primary or secondary school students and to North Korean refugees outside of regular school hours. Since he was a teenager, he’s had a passion for working with people who have escaped from the authoritarian regime. He was moved when he heard a survivor speak at a local university in Anderson, Indiana, where he grew up.

“It broke my heart. Her story was absolutely amazing,” Davisson said.

“I just really felt God leading me to work with those people and help be a light in a dark situation. When I heard her story, that ignited that passion in my heart.”

He hopes that teaching English to people who have fled North Korea will equip them to tell their stories, just

as that young woman told him her story years ago.

Davisson is working toward his certification to teach English to speakers of other languages – and listening to a lot of Korean pop – to prepare for departure July 5, his 23rd birthday.

Before he arrived at PBA, he taught English in China.

As a student, he taught English in Cambodia and at a safe house in Costa Rica.

The English Teaching Assistant program was a perfect fit for Rice, who enjoys learning languages and teaching English — interests the Frederick, Maryland, native discovered on a mission trip to Guatemala her senior year of high school. At PBA, she further explored those interests by volunteering to teach English to Arabic-speaking refugees at Bridges Language Academy and participating in a humanitarian aid trip to the Middle East. Rice, a senior

majoring in biblical studies and minoring in English, also went on a 12-day study abroad trip to Germany.

Her Fulbright comes with a stipend to learn about the one language family she hasn’t yet studied: Slavic.

Why Bulgaria? Her great-great-grandfather was Bulgarian, she said.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program selected Allison Rice to teach English in Bulgaria after graduation.

The University’s Prestigious National Scholarships Committee shepherded both Rice and Davisson through the Fulbright application process, down to simulating the international interview that takes place over Skype. Faculty members Dr. Carl Miller, Dr. Elizabeth Stice, Dr. Don McCulloch and Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Dr. Robert Lloyd serve on the committee.

The faculty mentors directed students to the Fulbright opportunity, helped them choose their countries, rehearsed their interviews, reviewed their

www.bocaratontribune.com

resumes and pointed out their strengths and weaknesses.

Davisson said Miller called him over the summer asking him how his personal statement and statement of grant purpose were shaping up.

“Each step of the way, he was absolutely incredible,” Davisson said.

Faculty have been enthusiastic about serving on the interview panels, Miller said. The Fulbright is an opportunity to prove what they all agree on: “Our students here are as good as the best students anywhere.” PBA students are well-suited for the English Teaching Assistant Program because they have exceptional academic qualifications and a very strong service background to prepare them for the service-oriented program. The competitive program “opens up a lot of doors to do a lot of good in the future,” Miller said.

After his time abroad, Davisson hopes to work with North Korean refugees in Southern California. Rice is interested in English and linguistics, but she’s waiting to see what she learns from the Fulbright before plotting her next steps.

Rice said she wouldn’t have thought about applying for the Fulbright if not for the encouragement of the faculty.

“I’m just really thankful for the support PBA provided.”

SPORTS Boca Raton FC Makes it Four in a row, jump to 2nd place in Standings

Boca Raton Football Club defeated International Soccer Association 2-1 at Cypress Park in Coral Springs this weekend making it the fourth win in a row for the boys in blue after opening up the season with a 1-0 loss to Port Saint Lucie United.

It didn’t take long for Boca Raton FC to get on the board. Mike Smith buried it home in the 13th minuted to give the visitors the early 1-0 lead, which they carried for most of the first half before ISA leveled the match just before halftime.

“We started the game off well,” said head coach Jim Rooney. “We had a defensive mishap at the tail-end of the

first half and they were able to punish us.”

With the game locked at 1-1, Maher Soua gave Boca Raton FC the breakthrough it needed in the one-hour mark to score his fifth goal in four games.

“We have to continue to push and get even better,” added Rooney after the game. “Our home game this upcoming week is an important one and we want to give our fans a great show.”

Boca Raton FC will now host Vultures Purple FC at the Shipyard on Friday, April 26th. Tickets can be purchased by visiting: https://www.bocaratonfc.com/tickets/individual-tickets2019-season/

PBA Lacrosse Ends Season Against Tampa

Palm Beach Atlantic men’s lacrosse finished their 2019 season on Saturday, falling to Tampa 21-10 at the Rinker Athletic Campus.

The ‘Fish pulled close in the second quarter after Tampa took a 6-1 lead after the first 15 minutes. PBA scored three straight to start the second period as Jordan Trowbridge, Townsend Brown and Jesse Ball all found the back of the net. The Spartans responded with two straight before the Sailfish were able to make it 10-7 at the break.

The Spartans scored the first four goals of the second half to open a 14-7 lead. Brown added a pair of goals as

April 26 - May 2, 2019

he finished with a team-best four in his final game for the ‘Fish. He also added an assist. Jackson Miller provided three assists and also scored a goal.

Ball finished with two goals and an assist while Zack Figura had two assists and a goal.

Tampa was able to take 58 shots in the game compared to just 39 for the Sailfish. Trowbridge and Brown led PBA with eight shots each with Brown putting six on target. Marcus Lantier made 14 saves in goal for PBA.

PBA closes the year at 6-10 overall, a two-win improvement from last season.

FAU’s Whyte Tabbed C-USA Outdoor Athlete of the Week

For the fourth time in 2019, Natalliah Whyte of the Florida Atlantic University track and field team has been named the Conference USA Female Track Athlete of the Week. It's her second honor of the outdoor season after receiving the award twice during the indoor season.

Whyte broke the FAU record in the 200 meter dash on Saturday at the Hurricane Alumni Invite with a time of 23.28 for third place. It is the fourth event that Whyte now tops in the FAU record book along with the 100 meter and the 60 and 200 indoor times.

Her 100 and 200 meter outdoor times are the tops in C-USA this season thus far. Her 11.17 time in the 100 meter ranks sixth in the NCAA currently.

Her impressive outdoor season comes after a successful indoor season that saw the St. Catherine, Jamaica native win two gold medals at the C-USA Indoor Championship in the 60 meter and 200 meter after breaking school records all season long. She was also the highest individual points earner at the C-USA Championship and was later voted the Top Performer of the Meet on the track side.

Whyte and the Owls will be back on the track April 26-27 at the Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Florida.

Huarte Selected SSC Coach of the Year; Kreuzer & Ortiz Receive AllSSC Recognition

Fresh off guiding Lynn University’s women’s golf team to the program’s second Sunshine State Conference championship, and 39th in school history, head coach Marcelo Huarte has been honored as the SSC Coach of the Year, as announced on Friday. The first-year coach was not alone in receiving All-SSC recognition as Helen Kreuzer and Kristina Ortiz garnered First and Second Team accolades.

The Fighting Knights excelled under Huarte’s leadership in his first season with the team, winning two tournaments, finishing in the top-five in all 10 events and capturing the 2019 SSC Women’s Golf Championship, defeating top-ranked Barry in the process. And now SSC Coach of the Year and two All-SSC selections for the first time since 2015 can be added to the team’s success.

Huarte is the first women’s golf coach of the year recipient for Lynn since 2014 and the second coach to win the top coaching award for the league (Danny Randolph, 2012 & ‘14). The former AllAmerican and national championship player and assistant coach also becomes the fifth coach in Lynn history to win SSC Coach of the Year laurels in his first season, joining Randolph, Chris Greenwood (Men’s Golf – 2006), Thomas Macera (Softball – 2005) and Rocky Orezzoli (Women’s Soccer – 1998).

Kreuzer’s heads into postseason play as one of the top golfers in the nation. Ranked No. 6 individually, she is on

www.bocaratontribune.com

the verge of breaking the single-season program record for stroke average (73.26) while shedding nearly three and a half strokes off her average from last year. The Bensheim, Germany, native has eight top-10 finishes, five top-five and two tournament wins, becoming the first golfer since Ortiz in 2016, and eighth overall, with multiple medalist honors in a single year.

Ortiz finally receives recognition from the conference after a stellar four-year career in the Blue and White. This season she has posted the lowest stroke average of her career (74.78) and recorded a personal-best five top-10 finishes, giving her 14 in her career which is tied for ninth in program history.

Tampa’s Kiira Riihijarvi was named the SSC Women’s Golfer of the Year with Nova Southeastern’s Hanna Ahlander garnering SSC Freshman of the Year.

No institution had more than one selection on the first team but Nova Southeastern led all schools with three honorees, followed by Lynn and Barry with two apiece.

The NCAA will announce the Super Region 2 field on Monday. Lynn will be making its eighth consecutive appearance, and 16th overall. Competition begins Monday, May 6, at the Cleveland Country Club in Cleveland, Tenn. The top-four teams advance to the NCAA Division II National Championship at the PGA National Champions Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., from Tuesday, May 14 through Saturday, May 18.

Former Lynn Assistant, Norwood Tabbed Head Coach at Keiser

Lynn University men’s basketball’s associate head coach Tae Norwood has been selected as the next head coach for the Keiser University Seahawk men’s basketball program, as announced on Wednesday afternoon. Norwood served as Jeff Price’s top-assistant over the last six seasons for the Fighting Knights, being named the NCAA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2017-18.

Director of Athletics Kris Swogger announced the hiring of Tae Norwood as the new Head Coach of the Keiser University Men’s Basketball team. Norwood brings over 16 years of coaching experience across all levels of the NCAA and the NAIA.

Norwood said, “I am extremely excited to join the Keiser University community. This basketball program is rooted with such great tradition and pride, so this is a humbling experience. I look forward to mentoring the young men who will represent Keiser University proudly on the court, in the classroom, and in our community.
