Bio
From Hall of Honor press release dated Oct. 25, 2005:
Wittenberg men's golf was among the premier programs in NCAA
Division III for more than 20 years, and Tom Atchison was one of
the reasons. A four-year letterwinner and three-year team captain
and most valuable player, Atchison led the Tigers to two Ohio
Athletic Conference titles and was among a select few Wittenberg
athletes to reach national tournament competition in each of his
four seasons as a collegian. Atchison earned All-OAC honors in each
of his four years in the Red & White, highlighted by a
first-place finish in 1981. He also earned All-America three times
in his collegiate career, capped by third-team All-America honors
in 1982 with a 17th-place finish in the national tournament. A
native and current resident of Stow, Ohio, Atchison graduated from
Wittenberg with a degree in management and has gone on to enjoy
great success as a golf professional, working at several clubs and
winning regional tournaments.
