Award winners are recognized as some of the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the playing field and in the classroom.
The honor is the third this season for Hunneke, who previously recieved All-SAC First-Team and All-Region accolades.

He had 21 of his 30 rounds this season be par or better, the most in program history. Hunneke's current 71.5 scoring average is the best mark in program history and tied for third lowest for a single season.

Hunneke's honor is the first time the men's golf program received an Academic All-District honor since Anthony Marcinelli in 2019. That season Marcinelli earned All-America honors.
Hunneke is now eligible to compete for the Academic All-America status.
