The PEAR Department is taking this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the seniors on our spring sports teams. While we are sad that we were unable to watch them compete this season, we are excited about what the future holds for each of them. Keep checking back in the coming weeks as we take the time to highlight each of these individuals. Click here for our Senior Spotlight archive.

What is a favorite memory you have of your head coach?
My coach has taught me so much over these four years it's hard to pick one single memory. The way he stays motivated to learn, grow, and understand himself is incredible. He is my role model. He told me to strive for balance in golf and in life, this is something I can see he has achieved in his life, and it inspires me.
 
Quote from Coach Jerry Erickson:
"For four years, Jeremy Alsaker has maintained a wonderful perspective on the role of golf in relationship to his academic experience at Carleton. He is a great role model for what it means to be a student-athlete at a liberal arts college."
