HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, FL – The 2026 NCAA Division III PING All-Region honorees have been announced by the NCAA in coordination with the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The North Coast Athletic Conference was represented by John Carroll junior Justy VonLehmden (Findlay, OH/Saint John's Jesuit), Kenyon junior Jonathan Oakes (Tarrytown, NY/US Performance Academy) and sophomore Connor Gray (Winnetka, IL/New Trier), and Wittenberg sophomore Mikey Schutte (Cincinnati, OH/Elder), who are among 15 golfers selected in Region V.

VonLehmden earned All-NCAC first-team honors earlier this month after leading John Carroll to its first NCAC Championship with a 72.2 scoring average. He finished as the runner-up at the NCAC Championship with a 220 (71-75-74) and is the first John Carroll men's golfer to earn All-Region honors since Johnny Roder in 2022.

Gray earned his first All-NCAC first-team selection this spring after a sophomore campaign near the top of Kenyon's lineup. He played 27 rounds with a 73.44 scoring average, fired a low round of 66, and tied for eighth at the NCAC Championship with a 227 (76-74-77).

Oakes repeated as the NCAC's Dick Gordin Award winner as the league's Player of the Year and was named All-NCAC first-team for a second straight season. He recorded three top-10 finishes and placed third at the NCAC Championship with a 221 (77-76-68) that included the tournament's lowest round.

Schutte earned his first PING All-Region honor after a first-team All-NCAC season. The sophomore claimed an individual NCAA berth following a seventh-place finish at the NCAC Championship with a 226 (79-74-73), and earlier in the year set Wittenberg's program record for lowest single-round score with a 64 at the GolfWeek October Classic.
