DETROIT -- The GLIAC has announced that redshirt senior Grant Haefner (Berkley, Mich. / Bloomfield Hills) is a GLIAC Commissioner's Award recipient for the spring. It is the second time that he has collected the award. The accolade recognizes student-athletes that excel both in the classroom and on the fields of play.

Since the inception of the GLIAC Commissioner's Award program for the 2007-08 academic year, Wayne State has had the second-most recipients (62) of any school.

Haefner was selected to the All-GLIAC First Team and was WSU's top golfer in all three regular-season tournaments. He tied-for-15th at the GLIAC Championships with a 144 (70, 74) and was an individual qualifier for the NCAA Super Regionals. Haefner golfed in five events and finished with an average round of 72.6 over 13 rounds. He had three top-10 results and another top-25 finish.

Just recently, he qualified for the U.S. Amateur, which will be played at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. beginning on August 9th.

Haefner was a GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team selection for fourth straight year and was First Team All-GLIAC honoree. He finished in the top 10 three times (second at the BrownGolf Intercollegiate; tied-for-seventh at Findlay, and tied-for-seventh at UIndy), and tied-for-34th at NCAA Super Regionals out of 86 golfers.

Haefner has played 93 career rounds in five years with a 74.69 career scoring average. He was selected as a 2019-20 GLIAC Commissioner's Award recipient and has four times earned All-GLIAC recognition (2nd Team in 2018, Honorable Mention in 2019, and First Team in 2020 and 2021) four times. Haefner is a four-time GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team selection. He was a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar in 2018-19 & 2019-20. Haefner participated in the NCAA Super Regionals in 2018 (226), 2019 (236) and 2021 (222). He has had 15 top-10 results in his career.
