ATLANTA - Fort Hays State's Katie DeGarmo has been named to the 2025 WBCA NCAA Division II Coaches' All-America Team, announced Thursday by the coaches association. DeGarmo was one of 10 athletes nationwide in NCAA Division II to earn first-team honors this year after picking up WBCA All-America Honorable Mention accolades in 2024.
DeGarmo is just the third player in program history to earn first team All-America honors, joining Annette Wiles (1989-90) and Kate Lehman (2014-15). It is also only the third time in team history that a player has earned All-American recognition in multiple seasons.
The Andover, Kan. native wrapped up one of the greatest careers in program history with another stellar season, averaging 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game while knocking down 49.2 percent of her shots from the floor in 33 contests. She ranked in the top 10 in the MIAA in points (third), rebounds (third), assists (10th) and field-goal percentage (seventh).
DeGarmo was named MIAA Player of the Year for a second year in a row in addition to earning D2CCA All-Central Region First Team honors for the second-consecutive season. She was named to the MIAA All-Tournament Team and also earned a spot on the NCAA Central Region All-Tournament Team.
The graduate student scored in double figures 31 times this season, including nine games with 20 or more points. She recorded 10 double-doubles on the year, bringing her career total to 46. Her 567 points scored in 2024-25 are sixth-most in a single season in program history.
DeGarmo wraps up her career with 2,299 points in 156 games, ranking second in program history. She is the leading rebounder in school history with 1,248 career rebounds, while ranking fourth in assists (408), tied for second in steals (236), and second in field goals (865).
She helped the Tigers to 28 wins this season, sixth-most in school history. The Tigers surpassed 20 wins for the 14th consecutive season, extending the longest streak in NCAA Division II.
DeGarmo was the lone MIAA athlete to earn first team All-American honors, while both Grace Pyle of Pittsburg State and Reese Schaaf of Central Missouri received honorable mention recognition.
