Fort Hays State women's golf head coach Jerol DeBoer added another signee to his 2020-21 signing class in Kerrigan Rudolph. Rudolph wrapped up an impressive career at Goodland (Kan.) High School last fall, picking up her fourth medalist finish at the Kansas 3-2-1A State Tournament.
Rudolph placed in the top 10 four times at the state meet, finishing ninth as a freshman in 2016, third as a sophomore in 2017, second as a junior in 2018 and fourth as a senior in 2019. She helped the Cowgirls to an undefeated state championship in 2019, finishing in the top four at all nine meets through the fall. Rudolph was honored as an Elite (top 12 in the state) athlete at The Topeka Capital-Journal's Best of Kansas Preps awards banquet.
She was a three-time league champion, winning the Great West Activities Conference meet as a freshman, junior and senior. Rudolph finished in the top four at the region meet all four years, including a runner-up finish as a sophomore.
Rudolph was a three-sport athlete with the Cowgirls throughout her high school tenure, playing basketball in the winter and running track and field in the spring. She also picked up a letter in trap shooting as a junior.
She was very involved outside of athletic competition, serving as the president of the Girls Athletic Association, participating in choir and theater, serving as a Junior Commission Officer and serving as a student mentor for junior high students.
"I am excited that Kerrigan made the decision to become a Tiger," said DeBoer. "Her competitive drive is evident by her participation in three sports throughout her high school career. I look forward to her bringing that same drive and work ethic with her to the next level."
