TOWSON, Md. - First year Jose Maria Gallegos (Ahome, Mexico/Montverde Academy) of the Goucher College men's golf team was selected as the Landmark Conference men's golf Athlete of the Week on Tuesday after his performance in the Marlins Invitational.
Gallegos finished in a three-way tie for first place at the tournament hosted by Virginia Wesleyan at Cypress Point Country Club over the weekend. He posted a two-day score of 159 and eventually finished second in the three-way playoff.
