Community FAU TechGarage Team Wins 2017 Hackathon

By: Michael Demyan

High school students from Boca Raton beat all of the adults on their way to taking first place at the 2017 eMerge Americas Hackathon in Miami.

The students were part of the FAU TechGarage team, one of 35 teams in the annual competition, which began on Saturday, June 10 and finished the following day on June 11.

FAU TechGarage is a branch of FAU Tech Runway, a program started at the university which allows entrepreneurs to start a company from the ground up.

TechGarage allows students to meet and work on projects involving mathematics, science, technology and engineering. During the summer, they also offer a camp where those in grades 4-12 are able to learn about things such as robotics and programming.

“My love for building, programming and problem solving began in second grade when I started doing robotics, and I’m fortunate to continue this passion with help from the many resources and mentors available to me at FAU,” team member Devin Willis of FAU High School said.

“I’m proud of my team’s performance at Hackathon, and attribute this success to our strong background in computer-aided design, programming and robotics that we learned at TechGarage.”

The members of the winning FAU TechGarage team, which consisted of Willis, Carson Lyttle from Boca Raton High School, Winston Cheung from Atlantic High School and Jacob Zipper from Pine Crest School, were tasked with completing multiple challenges in hopes of taking home some of the $6,000 in prizes.

Each team had 24 hours to build and present their project. How they used that time was completely up to their discretion. They could try to work all the way through or take a couple of breaks for a quick nap.

Their winning piece of technology was called “SmileMetrics,” which would allow real-time customer satisfaction monitoring. An employee would wear a nametag featuring a processor and camera able to observe facial emotions of customers.

A business would then have the opportunity to correct any problems that were bothering the customer before they go online and leave a bad review. The technology can also be used to figure out how an employee interacts with them and the impression they leave.

The group of high schoolers were the only student-based team in the entire competition, which mainly consisted of company teams and individuals who were randomly grouped together. Scooter Willis, the director of the FAU TechGarage Program, thinks that the victory is a great example of what this generation has to offer in the future.

“Because of their constant exposure to technology at such a young age, we firmly believe that the next generation of students is capable of doing amazing things,” he said.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital To Explore Strategic Partnership

Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) today announced that it has embarked on a process to explore the possibility of establishing a strategic partnership with another healthcare provider — one that will accelerate and elevate the Hospital’s position as a preeminent academic regional referral medical center.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital finds itself in a most enviable position and poised to take the next step in its development. “A remarkable renaissance has taken place at the Hospital over the last seven years,” said Christine E. Lynn, BRRH’s Board Chair. “By any metric, we have evolved into one of the outstanding healthcare providers in the state of Florida.

Yet, there is another level to which we aspire and a partnership with a provider who shares in our mission, culture and goals will accelerate our ability to reach our full potential.”

Jerry Fedele, BRRH’s President and CEO, cited a host of advances and achievements as evidence of BRRH’s transformation from a capable community hospital into a leading academic tertiary medical center. Included were: designation as a “Top Ranked Regional Hospital” by U.S. News & World Report (the highest ranked hospital in Palm Beach County), the most “Top Doctors” in Palm Beach County as recognized by Castle Connelly, and creation of cuttingedge programs and facilities such as the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, the Marcus Neuroscience Institute, the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, the Wold Family Center for Emergency Medicine, the Gloria Drummond Physical Rehabilitation Institute and the Irving & Barbara C. Gutin Center for Robotic Surgery.

Fedele also referenced the Hospital’s growing reputation for being the first in the region to acquire and implement state-of-the-art technology in such areas as radiation oncology, breast health and cardiovascular disease, as well as having a medical staff that includes physicians with national and international reputations as key components to its success. The Hospital has also seen strong

www.bocaratontribune.com

financial performance and record-setting levels of philanthropic support in recent years.

Despite these achievements, Mrs. Lynn noted, “Every hospital or health system in this nation is constantly seeking ways to enhance its capabilities in patient care, strengthen its finances and secure its position in its respective service area. We are no different and believe our intent to explore a strategic partnership is a prudent and positive development for the Hospital and the communities we serve.”

Commenting further, Mrs. Lynn addressed the fiduciary imperative that serves as a catalyst for the initiative.

“Accepting the status quo is not acceptable in any successful organization. Our Board and senior leadership have a profound responsibility to be vigilant in assessing opportunities that can make us stronger than we are today.”

According to Fedele, forming a strategic partnership for the Hospital will be beneficial on a number of fronts including: enhancing Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s ability to develop nationally recognized clinical programs, establishing market essentiality, mitigating the challenges of a stand-alone organization in a complex and evolving healthcare industry and having greater access to capital.

A steering committee has been formed that includes Boca Raton Regional Hospital Board Members, community and medical staff leaders and volunteers to explore the initiative. Dick Schmidt, former BRRH Board Chair and noted civic leader and philanthropist, is serving on behalf of the community to chair the steering committee.

“I think it is significant that we set out on this endeavor as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Boca Raton Regional Hospital,” Mr. Schmidt said.

“We are proactively seeking to secure the Hospital’s future to serve our community better from a position of strength. If we achieve what we believe we can in a partnership, we will have positioned the Hospital for even greater success in the decades to come.”

FAU Greek Life - Shining a Light on the Unknown

By: Gabriel Diaz

Hazing, pledging, chugging, parties. These are the common terms associated with fraternities and sororities nationwide. Stories relating to these terms have surfaced nationwide, such as the most recent Penn State incident in which a pledge of Beta Theta Pi fraternity fell to his death and was found to have had a blood-alcohol content reading of between .26 and .36.

Luckily for the Boca Raton community, the Greek life system at Florida Atlantic University is not broken. This is due to the fact that FAU has a very strict anti-hazing policy, and “anyone found to be hazing will be dealt with quickly and severely” according to FAU President Dr. John Kelly in his statements on the video about Hazing Education found in the FAU website. In response to what happens when someone is found to be hazing in FAU the Fraternity and Sorority Life office said that “All hazing allegations and investigations occurring in the FAU community, be it individual or organizational in nature, are facilitated by the Dean of Students Office.”

Greek life in FAU is a benefit to the Boca Raton community for a few very important reasons, and should be embraced by the community as a whole.

Taking a look at the numbers, over five percent of FAU undergraduate students are members of fraternities and sororities. This means that there are over 1,500 Greeks roaming around Boca at any given time.

“The Greek community at FAU is the largest socially active demographic of the 30,000 + student population at FAU,” stated Brandon Sirota, the President of the Interfraternity Council.

Although 1,500 students does not seem like a lot of people in comparison to the total population in Boca, the

Greek community does a lot more than some would think.

In 2016 the FAU Greek community completed over 5,000 hours of community service ranging from beach cleanups, to helping pack lunches at Boca Helping Hands and other philanthropic events through the local community.

“I feel the relationship between the Greek community at FAU and the greater Boca Raton community is reciprocal in nature,” said Sirota. “There are many opportunities to engage the community through philanthropic events, community service, social networking among peers, alumni, local residents and more.”

Greek life at FAU raised nearly $150,000 for charitable organizations, both local to the Boca Raton community and nationally to causes like Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, The Ability Experience, Ronald McDonald House Charities and others. This is quite impressive for a set of only 1,500 students within a community of around 30,000 at FAU and over 91,000 in Boca Raton.

Greek life has grown in FAU periodically every year. Talks of expansions and improvements to 20th Street will make it so that Greek life’s presence could be more defined in the Boca Raton community within the next five, 10 or 25 years.

“I’ve been extremely adamant that increasing the size and number of Greek organizations at FAU is necessary to help build up the community we have, and that Greek housing should be an integral part of that necessity,” added Sirota.

The idea of Greek housing has been pitched and catched for many years and could improve the FAU community to make it even more of a true university, rather than the commuter school it is trying to steer away from.

Is Delray Beach a City That Reads?

Sometime today, we should learn whether the City of Delray Beach was named an All-America City for a third year.

A contingency a city officials are attending the National Civic League conference in Denver where the announcement will be made. If the City wins the recognition this year, it would be the first community in Florida to be honored with this prestigious award three times. It won in 1993 and 2001.

Getting there though took some work, hard work, on the part of the community.

This year’s All-America City competition focused on the work communities are doing to advance childhood literacy.

Much credit should go to Janet Meeks, the City’s education coordinator, who has been championing the cause for children from low-income families for many years.

Very few public servants are as passionate about children's issues at least publicly –

as Meeks, who is been with the city for more than 25 years.

Meeks is prepared to make a three-minute pirate-themed presentation in support of the City’s entry. She will highlight the City’s ongoing collaborative efforts over the last five years to prepare children for kindergarten, reduce chronic absenteeism and increase participation in summer reading programs.

Last school year, slightly more than one half of all third graders in Palm Beach County met Florida’s standards in reading. Forty eight percent of those same students were reading well below grade level and were retained.

This year’s results were recently released and the number of third graders who earned a Level 3 or above in English inched slightly by 2 percentage points to 54 percent. Still, that was 4 percentage points lower than the statewide average

of 58 percent.

Whatever the outcome in Denver – win or lose - the group will have a chance to share what they have learned and to learn from others.

Meeks and a small cadre of volunteers educators, civic leaders, parents, nonprofit organizations - have put a stake in the ground around third-grade reading and made some big bets to ensure all children read proficiently by the end of third grade, the No. 1 predictor of high school graduation.

Studies show that children who do not read on grade level by third grade are more likely to drop out of high school.

Those who read at proficient levels by third grade are more likely to complete high school prepared for college, a career and active citizenship.

This year’s winners will look different from the ‘classic All-America City

Awards’ as the judges will be focusing heavily on community performance to ensure all children are reading at gradelevel.

The winning communities must demonstrate they have moved the needle on outcomes for low-income children in at least two of the following community solutions areas: school readiness, school attendance, summer learning and gradelevel reading.

The 2018 All-America City Award will be a return to the more standard application and process.

While there is no monetary reward for All-America City recognition would give the city bragging rights of the good work being done in our community to address one or more of the challenges that can undermine early literacy.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Be the Best That You Can Be!

True human greatness is not measured by how high an individual rises in personal and professional life, nor in the size of one’s personal material wealth. One’s individual value is better determined by the size of one’s heart and the right actions that proceed from valid convictions of a person!

There must be flexibility manifested by one who can be and do well at whatever activity or level a person happens to be, while not losing touch with others less favored! Those who may have reached the highest levels of success in any vocation or profession, must know how to relate to peers and to subordi-

nates in genuine humbleness, instead of irrelevant arrogance.

As I once read, those who presume to be the “top banana” should never cut themselves off from the whole bunch! A position of authority in any enterprise does not require nor demand isolation of its occupant from all others who are contributing, at many levels, to the success of a project.

In fact, such success is only achievable when true, broad cooperation exists among peers and principal in leading an organization, advancing a project, or creating some new thing of special significance. People need people, and those

who learn to collaborate with one another have the greatest chances of accomplishing significant projects. It’s from those around that new ideas, unique perspectives, and awareness of consequences can be freely shared!

On the road to success, whether personal, or of a project we’re engaged with, difficulties and mishaps are ever present. Even actual failure often attempts to be an impediment to final completion of what one is involved with.

Yet, failure per se is seldom final to those determined to succeed. Thus, it needs not be viewed as permanent whenever it may occur! The problem is

that too many persons give-up too soon; they prefer to dwell in gloom than to seek creative ways to repair and remake what can be corrected.

As history testifies, there has been much through the ages that has been brought from the ashes into new, productive use. What is so quickly discarded loses the chances of being re-examined, restored, and even brought to greater usefulness. Yet, only the best people know this, and can act with understanding that brings the desired success!

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.

FAU Looks to Shed Commuter School Label with Plans for College Town By: Jack Rubin

Florida Atlantic University is one of the fastest growing schools in the nation, rapidly expanding right here in Boca Raton. Large-scale questions and concerns about the future of FAU in Boca have come with the university’s sudden growth.

Of the close to 30,000 Owl undergraduate students, just 17 percent live in college housing. 25,596 students are enrolled at the primary Boca Raton campus, yet the campus only offers housing for 4,000 students.

Acknowledging reality, the university is a commuter school. A city report on the “University District” that analyzed Boca Raton’s traffic issue cited “FAU’s historic positioning as a commuter campus.” However, as FAU gains national appeal with its growing prestige (and proximity to the beach), it needs to become a real, residential college campus.

The City of Boca Raton is moving forward with plans to give the city a college town around FAU. Due to increased relations between the university and city officials, the two sides are cooperating to advance the project. A milelong portion of NW 20th Street would be the center of a rebranded “University District”. The stretch spans from the FAU campus entrance on NW 20th Street to Dixie Highway on its east end. The city most recently produced a 17-page full “University District” report in conjunction with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC).

December’s meeting that discussed the University District was the first direct meeting between the university and city officials since 2009. Relations between the university and Boca Raton will have vast effects on if and how these plans are implemented.

FAU President John Kelly and Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie have joined forces on the development plan.

Students from an FAU architecture course won Kelly over two years ago with a model of what the redesigned street could feature. Suggestions included new restaurants, apartments, walkways, and

shops.

Boca Raton residents and Florida Atlantic students alike will be the first to acknowledge that Boca is not close to being a “college town”. Such a change will not happen overnight either, despite FAU’s expansion in the city. With, as Kim DeLaney of the TCRPC put it,

redevelopment] for probably ten years. It seems like they’re getting closer than they ever were before. I welcome it, and this store is perfect for that type of activity, so obviously we think it’s great.”

Situated next door to It’s Owl Time is Munchiez, a sandwich shop targeted at a younger audience. Co-founder

“A majority of the students are traveling in during the day and traveling out in the afternoon,” it is tough to build campus identity. Plans to develop a part of Boca into a student-friendly district have circulated for years, but are now finally coming to fruition.

Both the university and city hope that a place for students to walk around and hang out near campus would entice more students to live on campus.

“I think the commuting aspect contributes to a cultural disconnect for students, but a college town environment could help form that connection,” FAU junior Jake Elman said.

Local stores are embracing the prospects of a younger crowd on 20th Street. For example, It’s Owl Time is FAU’s official merchandise store.

“I think it’s great,” owner Mark Noll said. “I’m excited. I mean, that’s the reason why I opened up in this space, because we’ve been hearing that [20th Street

Pete Cafone saw this coming.

“With the expansion of FAU and this area, we were trying to make sure that established ourselves in the area,” he said.

Despite these FAU-centered stores, an underlooked part of a college modernization of 20th Street is some of the current businesses operating in the area. The city’s report repeatedly references that 20th Street “lacks identity” and does not fit into the campus at all. Kim DeLaney emphasized the lack of campus and street identity.

“When you’re on the 20th Street corridor you don’t know that youre heading to any particular destination; you just all of a sudden arrive and see a sign that says FAU,” she said.

The city report furthered this idea, saying that “As one of the ‘front doors’ to the university, there should be branding with signage, landscaping, amenities, and possibly an architectural

theme.”

Mayor Haynie hopes that the renovation of the street would provide incentives for property owners to “redevelop.” Some of the businesses on 20th Street would not fit into the university’s vision of a college town, becoming roadblocks to the venture. The City has not commented on how they they plan on dealing with existing businesses.

A college town expansion is no small step for this city. The fact of the matter could be that Boca Raton is not ready for a college campus explosion.

Drugs and underage alcohol consumption are an issue on any college campus, and, as FAU expands, concerns are no different. University Park, an off campus housing complex on 20th Street, has struggled with drug trading in its apartments. The city’s report acknowledges off-campus housing safety struggles and adds that “[the] University Park property has generated a disproportionate amount of police and fire calls for service, nearly tripling the number of calls/unit as compared to other multi-family housing projects.”

In its decision to continue planning, the City of Boca Raton hired a private consultant. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council recommended an increased police presence along the corridor and near student housing areas.

“The City and FAU should work together to develop model public/private agreements to address the management and oversight of off-campus student housing projects,” the report reads.

The center of NW 20th Street is located just 1.4 miles from the Boca Raton Police Station, a figure that will certainly aid the proposal’s safety concerns.

The Council placed a massive emphasis on increased communications between the City and FAU concerning everything from transportation to student housing.

Plans to give FAU a college town are finally moving forward. With the City of Boca Raton and its major university seeing eye to eye, FAU will continue to expand as one of the fastest-growing schools in the nation.

Burton’s Grill & Bar Coming to Boca in September By: Gabriel Diaz

Burton’s Grill & Bar is set to open up its Boca Raton location in the Park Place shopping center starting this fall.

The restaurant is large, measuring 6,460 square feet and offering 248 seats indoors and 86 outside around a water feature and bar. Burton’s in Boca will be the 14th location that this chain of restaurants will have. Johnson & Wales graduate Winston Guerrero will be the executive chef of Burton’s.

The Search for a Kidney Donor

By: Michael Demyan

Cynthia, Heather and Jennifer Flood all know what it is like to be desperately searching for a kidney donor.

In 2008, their 60-year-old father needed one, but tests unfortunately found that none of the three sisters were a match. So they decided to turn to an online website to find one – Craigslist.

“We had thousands of people nationwide reaching out to want to test for our dad,” Jennifer Flood said.

Many of them did not work out due to age, health or blood type, but a woman from California was finally discovered as a match. In December 2011, their dad received his new kidney.

The sisters were so grateful for the amount of people who wanted to help their dad that they decided they should return the favor, so together they founded a nonprofit called The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation of America to help find donors for those in need.

“The waiting list [for transplants] is ridiculous,” Flood said. “They could wait 2-10 years for a donor and if that doesn’t happen, they’re going to pass away or remain on dialysis for the rest of their life.”

They do their best to find the donors faster and so far, they have been instrumental in finding them for nine kidney transplants, most recently for a fifth grade teacher in West Palm Beach and Jon Bon Jovi’s attorney, Jerry Edelstein. Now they are searching for their 10th.

Al Solomon, 78, of Weston is currently in need of a donor. The retired businessman, father and grandfather is searching for someone with an “O” blood type. Along with the help of The

Flood Sisters, Solomon’s daughter, Marcy Dorfman Salenieks, has also created a Facebook page where she posts updates in hopes of finding a person willing to donate.

“I know he is 78, and some might think he may be too old to be worthy of receiving a kidney, but I can not agree,” she wrote. “I can think of so many amazing things he could still see: that I long for him to see. My youngest graduating high school, my boys getting married, the lions in South Africa he has wanted to marvel at his whole life, and every other miraculous moment we can share as a family.”

Solomon is currently registered at the Cleveland Clinic as well as Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He is not feeling the effects of dialysis very well, but his family and The Flood Sisters all still have hope.

“The family is very supportive,” Flood said. “They all live close by. They love what we do.”

If someone willing to complete a transplant is found, Flood will perform a preliminary screen to make sure they are healthy and have the correct blood type. After they pass the screen and are confirmed as a match, they are connected with a hospital.

For The Flood Sisters, finding a match for someone in need is extremely rewarding and by the time the process is over, a strong bond is developed.

“They’re like part of our family,” Flood said.

For those who are interested in testing to see if they will be a match for Solomon, the Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation can be reached at 646-715-8976 or through their website at floodsisters.org.

Not Providing Principles We Cannot Implement

Sam Elliott is “The Hero”

Sam Elliott is “The Hero.” You know the guy. Tall, deep-voiced and with a big bushy moustache, Elliott has been a staple in Westerns and dramas since his film debut in 1969 with a bit part in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

In “The Hero” Elliott plays a character very much like himself.

Writer-director Brett Haley tailored the character of Lee Hayden with his writing partner Marc Basch after the real-life Sam Elliott.

Haley and Basch had previously collaborated with Elliott in “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” a post-65 romance with Elliott and Blythe Danner.

The movie begins with Lee Hayden doing a voiceover for “Lone Star BBQ Sauce.” Elliott is a much in-demand voiceover artist.

The scene shifts to a clinic. A biopsy has revealed to Hayden the grim fact he has pancreatic cancer. Lee smokes copious amounts of pot to ease his pain and anxiety.

Charlotte Dylan (Laura Prepon) stops by with cookies and to see how Lee is doing. She is an erstwhile stand-up

June 23 - June 29, 2017

comedian, but we never get to see her act.

She does have a special interest in Lee, despite being half his age.

“You’ve got a thing for sad old guys,” a friend says.

Lee Hayden is being honored with a Western Society Award. He is embarrassed by all the fuss. Charlotte is there for moral support, which leads to a more intimate relationship.

Lee Hayden has a daughter, Lucy Hayden (Krysten Ritter) from whom he is estranged, a wife Valarie, played by Elliott’s real-life wife Katharine Ross, and a manager, played by Nick Offerman.

Through all of this Sam Elliott is the rock-steady foundation of what amounts to an old man’s fantasy.

“Many young women are attracted to Sam,” declares director Brett Haley.

“Both Sam and Laura were a dream to work with. There could have been no better person for the role than Laura. She has star quality.”

Haley and Basch are currently working on another collaboration.

Three stars

Recently I had the opportunity to spend time with Albert, a longtime friend who served as a leader in CBMC for many years. He was guest speaker at a retreat, and discussed about some of the things he has learned about applying biblical principles in his businesses, as well as his personal life.

One of the life-changing insights Albert said experience has taught him is, “God will never give you a principle in His Word that you cannot implement.”

He added, “When you follow biblical principles, you can never go wrong.”

This was not an empty declaration. My friend proceeded to cite example after example of times when, even if it seemed counter-intuitive, he chose to follow guidelines from the Scriptures and discovered to his delight that they worked as promised. Albert was not saying that heeding biblical principles is always easy, or that outcomes will always be as we hoped. But as he commented, “A loving father will never ask you to do something that is not good for you – and the Lord is our loving Father.”

This started me thinking: What are some of these principles from the Bible that God gives, assuring us He has established them with our best interests at heart? Books could be written about this topic, but here are some examples that came to mind:

We do not work just for ourselves. We start our careers typically thinking in terms of “my work,” “my job.” The Bible teaches, however, the work we perform is part of our divine calling, and the talents and giftedness we possess, and even opportunities that come our way, are from God. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ

Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

There is no harm in having to wait. Many of us are action-oriented people, and having to wait for goals and desires to be realized tests our patience to the limit. But if we find ourselves having to wait, God has a good reason for it. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:7). “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Difficulties in life can be stepping stones for spiritual growth. When we encounter hardships, we are prone to explore alternatives for escaping the circumstances. But it is often the crucible of adversity that teaches us the greatest lessons from God and leads to spiritual maturity. “…we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us” (Romans 5:3-5).

You cannot out-give God. Generosity does not come naturally for many of us. We cling to our paychecks and profits, reasoning, “It’s mine. I earned it.”

We act as if giving to others, even worthwhile charitable causes, could result in our running out of resources for ourselves.

But 2 Corinthians 9:7 states, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Jesus also taught we need not worry about not having enough: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38).

sports Boca Raton FC Falls 4-2 to Miami Fusion Despite Wilbanks Brace

Boca Raton FC fell to NPSL Sunshine Conference pace setters Miami Fusion FC 4-2 despite a brace from Justin Wilbanks. NPSL Sunshine Conference leading scorer Victor Cardoso scored twice, his sixth and seventh goals of the season to pace Miami. The loss drops Boca Raton 12 points behind the Fusion in the race for the NPSL Sunshine Conference crown.

Wilbanks struck from distance in the seventh minute to give Boca Raton the lead. However, Miami scored three times before halftime with Maximiliano Schenfeld equalizing the match in minute 15 before a double from Cardoso before the whistle blew for the half. Boca Raton’s first half was uneven, after a quick

start the team had a hard time passing through Miami’s high-press and conceded three goals.

After halftime, Boca Raton created more chances and had the better of play for large portions of the half.

Wilbanks second strike in minute 68 was cancelled out by William Stamatis two minutes later. Boca Raton had several chances to claw back into the game by claiming a third, the best chance falling to Wilbanks who was played in by Eduardo Cruz s in minute 83 but he put his shot just wide. Both sides had a player sent off late in the match as the game which was open and free-flowing in the first half become chippier and more physical after halftime.

Toto Gana Tee’s Off at British Amateur Championship

Lynn University men's golfer Toto Gana is one of 288 competitors from 40 countries in the field for the 122nd Amateur Championship, held at Royal St. George's and Prince's. The Amateur Championship takes place from June 19-24.

The Santiago, Chile, native earned an invite to one of the oldest amateur tournaments in the world by virtue of his victory at the 2017 Latin American Championship. The reward to the winner of the 122nd Amateur Championship books a place in the 146th British Open at Royal Birkdale in July, the 2018 US Open at Shinnecock and, by tradition,

an invitation to play in the 2018 Masters Tournament.

A victory at the LAAC started a wild ride for Gana. He would go on to compete in the 2017 Masters Tournament at Augusta National and help Lynn reach the NCAA Division II National Championship for the fifth consecutive year.

Gana's freshman season with the Fighting Knights was impressive as he posted a team-best 72.33 stroke average while also logging three top-10 finishes.

Lynn ended the season as the NCAA Division II National Runner-Up, with the freshman All-American posting a 3-0-0 record in match play.

Three Lynn Men’s Golfers Named PING All-Americans

A banner season on the golf course has continued in postseason awards following the announcement of three Lynn University men's golfers as Golf Coaches Association/PING Third Team All-Americans. Mateo Gomez garnered his third selection and Manuel Torres his second while Felix Kvarnstrom earned his first nod.

"These honors are a testament to the hard work, discipline and culture we have in our program," said head coach Andrew Danna. "I am so lucky and proud our team views these awards as a total team effort and all three of these individuals, Mateo, Manny and Felix, are greatly deserving of these accolades."

This is the third consecutive year the Fighting Knights have logged at least three All-America selections, 10th straight season of at least one All-American and 20th overall. Under Danna's leadership, Lynn has garnered 15 All-America honorees.

Gomez's All-America recognition caps off an incredible three-year career with the Blue and White in which he broke or tied three records and joined Daniel Young as the only three-time All-American in program history. During his season year, the Cali, Colombia native broke program marks for career stroke average (72.03) and top-10 finishes (19) and tied for the most tournament

www.bocaratontribune.com

victories with four. In his final campaign, he was tied for the team lead with seven top-10 finishes and was second with a 72.52 stroke average in helping Lynn to a NCAA Division II National Runner-Up finish.

Torres becomes the 12th golfer in program history to become a two-time All-American after posting a 72.55 stroke average with five top-10 finishes and one tournament victory. A First Team AllSunshine State Conference selection, Torres moved into second place, behind Gomez, in career stroke average (72.31), is third in tournament victories with three and tied for 10th with 11 top-10 finishes.

Kvarnstrom became the second golfer in program history to be named the SSC Freshman of the Year, the Phil Mickelson National Freshman of the Year, GCAA/PING Freshman All-American and a GCAA/PING All-American in the same year (Ricardo Gouveia – 2011).

The Gothenburg, Sweden, product tied Gomez with seven top-10 finishes to go along with a 73.0 stroke average.

Lynn ended the year as the NCAA Division II National Runners-Up, the fourth time since 2011. The Fighting Knights return three starters from the squad, including Torres, Kvarnstrom and GCAA/PING Freshman All-American Toto Gana.
