Coached by AU agronomy and soils associate professor Joey Shaw, left, team members include, from left, Jacob Hodnett, Daniel Goins, Amy Weaver, Taylor Boozer, Hal Darsey, Bradley Kirkland and Michael Gunn. In individual competition, Hodnett finished first overall, and Boozer placed third. Rounding out the top five behind the AU team were the University of Georgia, second; Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, third; the University of Kentucky, fourth; and West Virginia University, fifth.
