The Seahawks finished tied for third place at the 2022 NEC Championship under Medina, a mark last reached by the program in 2019. Medina's direction helped guide standout golfer Heather McLean to an all-time program-best second place finish on the players leader board at the 2022 conference tournament. At two NEC Championships, Medina has overseen four top 15 finishes individually.
During Medina's tenure on Grymes Hill, Wagner has had three All-Northeast Conference selections. Heather McLean garnered First Team All-NEC in 2021 and 2022, while Audrey Paradis earned Second Team All-NEC in 2022.
A native of Guadlajara, Mexico, Medina competed on the golf team at New Mexico State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 2017, majoring in Turfgrass Science and Management, Horticulture and Agriculture.
