Five Millikin Women's Golfers earn Academic Honors

The Women's Golf Coaches Association released their list of 2024-25 WGCA All-American Scholars with 1,499 women's collegiate golfers from 403 programs recognized with the prestigious honor. Five of those earning the honors were members of the Big Blue women's golf team.

The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics and continue to demonstrate the high-level academic achievements of our players. To be selected, a student-athlete must:
• Have an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher.
• Be an amateur and on the team's roster through the conclusion of the team's season.
• Have played in 50% of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year nominated through the team's conference championship.

Recipients included four freshmen, including elementary education major Ruby Haegen (Kirksville / Sullivan), business management major Zoey Beard (Sherman / Williamsville), psychology major Hailey Homann (Columbia, Mo. / Columbia-Rock Bridge), and arts technology major Madelyn Beck (Springfield / H.S.).

Senior biology major Madi Jessen, hailing from Gower, Mo. (East Buchanan C-1) earned the honor in her final season with the Big Blue.

The Women's Golf Coaches Association, founded in 1983, is a non-profit organization representing women's collegiate golf coaches. The WGCA was formed to encourage the playing of college golf for women in correlation with a general objective of education and in accordance with the highest tradition of intercollegiate competition. Today, the WGCA represents over 750 coaches throughout the U.S. and is dedicated to educating, promoting and recognizing both its members and the student-athletes they represent.
