Meyer is the sixth golfer in program history to be named AMCC Golfer of the Year. Meyer joins junior Alex Pol (Erie, PA/Cathedral Prep) on the All-AMCC first team, while Jake Caldwell (Belle Vernon, PA/Belle Vernon) was chosen to the second team.

Meyer, the 2019 Newcomer of the Year, was the AMCC Individual Medalist at this year's championship with a two-day total of 149 (75-74). He carded the two lowest scores at the championships to help his conference-leading average of 78.33 for six rounds this season. Meyer finished in the Top 5 in four rounds and Top 10 in all six.

He carded a season-low 77 on two occasions, including the second day of the conference championships to take third place with a 158 score.

Caldwell was selected to the second team for his first All-AMCC honors. He is just one of two freshmen on the All-Conference Team. Caldwell finished sixth in the conference with an 81.33 scoring average. He shot a season-low 77 to tie for first place at the Mt. Aloysius Invitational. Caldwell also placed eighth at the AMCC Championships with a two-day score of 165 (83-82).
