FAYETTEVILLE, NC -  Susan Martin led the Methodist women's golf team to its 11th consecutive NCAA National Championship while picking up the Individual Championship as a sophomore. Based on her success this past year, Martin has been selected to receive the Mason Sykes Cup.

The Sykes Cup, named after former Methodist coach and current employee Mason Sykes, is awarded to the top athlete of the year.  Based on outstanding athletic achievement, a minimum 2.0 grade point average and good character, the Methodist coaching staff selects an annual winner.

Originally from Norcross, Ga., Martin finished last season with an average score of 77.3 in 21 rounds of golf.  In addition to her top finish at the NCAA Championships, Martin placed third at the Richmond Spiders Invitational. The Sykes Cup will be presented during the fall convocation ceremony.
