Joe Mericka excelled on the golf course while at St. Clair County Community College — and has continued to do so ever since.

He was the low-scorer for the Skippers in 1967 and 1968 – teams that were coached by the late Sam Kromer, himself a member of the Skippers Hall of Fame. With Mericka leading the way, the Skippers won state championships in both seasons.

Mericka finished his time at SC4 with an impressive average score of 72, which Kromer told him was the lowest in school history. He was named All-State in both seasons.

After his time at SC4, Mericka went to Florida Southern University, where he finished 11th in the country in the NCAA Small College competition. He has remained active in the local golf community, winning several area tournaments.

“Thank you for including me among such a terrific group of Skippers,” Mericka said. “I am very honored. I will always be grateful for the memories SC4 provided.”
