Trio of Former Aggies Headed for Rio

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – With the 2016 Olympics set to begin on August 5 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, New Mexico State Aggie fans will be invested more than usual as three former Aggie women's golfers take the international stage.

Alena Sharp (CAN), Gwladys Nocera (FRA) and Ursula Wikström (FIN) will look to go for gold as they represent their respective countries in the 31st running of the Olympiads. Sharp played with both Nocera and Wikström in college.

Sharp, a First-Team All-American in 2003 and 11 year LPGA Tour veteran will take a break from arguably one of her best seasons on tour to represent Canada in Rio.
