DENVER – The 2021-22 All-WAC teams have been named following a vote of the WAC's head coaches. Sam Houston's Chad Sewell was named WAC Player of the Year, Bearkat teammate Gene Chaikangwal was named WAC Freshman of the Year and Abilene Christian's Tom Shaw was named WAC Coach of the Year.

Sewell earns honors after leading the WAC in stroke average throughout the season, finishing with a 71.3 average through 29 rounds. In 10 events, he was top-10 in six of them, earning a top-5 finish four times and posting one tournament win at the Bentwater Intercollegiate.

Chaikangwal was named WAC Freshman of the Year after posting a 72.8 stroke average in 17 rounds. The leader after day one of the WAC Championship with a three-under-par 69, he earned a pair of top-10 wins in six events played and seven of his 17 rounds were at or below par.

Shaw earns his first WAC Coach of the Year honor after leading the Wildcats to a come-from-behind win at the WAC Men's Golf Championship. In his eighth year leading ACU, he was previously the head coach at Vanderbilt from 2007-12 and Tulane from 2001-06. A graduate of Georgia Tech, he spent seven years as a professional, including spending time on the Nationwide Tour.
