The Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin (GCAW) is pleased to announce that Kimmy Chappell, Holly Murphy and Kayla Kerns of Badger High School are Academic All-State honorees for the recently concluded 2018 girls’ golf season, all receiving the designation of High Honors.  Students are nominated by GCAW member coaches if they meet the following criteria: 1) A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25, 2) participation in at least 75% of their team’s varsity matches, and 3) are at least a sophomore in high school.   These student-athletes serve as a great example to others, proving that academic and athletic successes are not mutually exclusive.

The coaches association is proud to announce that 319 girls from 96 high schools have been honored this year for maintaining high academic standards in the classroom while competing in varsity golf.  In fact, the average cumulative GPA of this year’s honorees is an exceptional 3.794.
