Virginia Union University will partner with Richmond Region Tourism to host the CIAA Golf Championships on April 19 and 20 at the Club at Viniterra in New Kent County.

In addition to VUU, other schools participating will be Chowan, Elizabeth City, Fayetteville State, Johnson C. Smith, St. Augustine’s and Virginia State universities and Livingstone College.

Coach E. Lee Coble’s Panthers placed third April 4 and 5 at the CIAA Northern Division championships at Sound Golf Links in Hertford, N.C. Livingstone and Chowan finished first and second, respectively.

For VUU, Texan Paul Meints shot a 36-hole score of 157, followed by Floridian Sergio Escalante, 158, and Allan Day of Chesterfield County, 164.

VUU’s arrangement to co-host the golf championship is a two-year deal. The CIAA title event will return to Viniterra in 2019.
