DURANGO, Colo. — Cody Civiletto will stay put in his hometown, as he signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Fort Lewis College, Skyhawk golf coach Bud Andersen announced recently.
Civiletto will graduate from Durango High School later this spring. A four-year letterwinner for the Demons, he has won junior club championships at Hillcrest Golf Club and Dalton Ranch Golf Club locally.
The son of Joe and Maureen Civiletto of Durango, Civiletto plans to study Business Administration-Management at Fort Lewis.
Civiletto is one of six high school golfers to sign with the Skyhawks this spring, joining Zach Bryant (Morgan County High School, Buckhead, Ga.), Tyler Kolb (Rock Bridge Senior High School, Columbia, Mo.), Lucas Laudick (La Cueva High School, Albuquerque, N.M.), Shane Sampair (Forest Lake Area Senior High School, Forest Lake, Minn.) and John Thomson (Heritage Academy, Cresco, Iowa).
Fort Lewis' newest golfers join a program that has won seven conference championships, including the 2010-11
Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season title earlier this month. The Skyhawks are seeded second in the NCAA Division II Central/West SuperRegional, to be held on May 1-4 at the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course in Albuquerque.
The top five teams and the top two student-athletes not with a team from each regional (regardless of region) will advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships, held May 16-20 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals in Florence, Ala. The finals will be hosted by the University of North Alabama.
The 2011 recruiting class is an important one for Andersen, as his Skyhawks will lose five seniors —
Keenan Holt,
Gavin Lyons,
Devin Schreiner,
David Schroeder and
Justin Spray — at the completion of this spring's season.
