RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - Katie Wagner DeGarmo of Fort Hays State received a second All-America honor for the 2024-25 season on Tuesday (Mar. 25). She was named to the D2CCA All-America Team as a third-team selection. DeGarmo was one of 21 women nationwide in NCAA Division II to earn D2CCA All-America honors for the year.
DeGarmo is just the third player in FHSU Women's Basketball history to receive All-America honors from multiple organizations in the same year, joining Kate Lehman (2014 and 2015) and Tatyana Legette (2019). DeGarmo was already named a WBCA All-America selection for the second-straight year back on March 20. She is also only the third player in program history to earn All-America honors in multiple years (2024 and 2025), joining Annette Wiles (1989 and 1990) and Kate Lehman (2014 and 2015).
The D2CCA All-America team is voted on by school athletic communications professionals nationwide in NCAA Division II. The award was formerly sponsored by Daktronics when Kate Lehman earned a first-team selection in 2015, but has since changed to D2CCA. DeGarmo and Lehman are the only two in program history to receive Daktronics or D2CCA All-America honors.
As a third-team selection, DeGarmo was among the top 15 in voting for the D2CCA All-America Team. She was among the top 10 for players selected as All-America by the WBCA, earning first-team honors.
DeGarmo wrapped up one of the greatest careers in program history by averaging 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game in 2024-25, 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 the 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 finished 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, while ranking fourth in assists (408), tied for second in steals (236), and second in field goals made (865).
She helped the Tigers to 28 wins in 2024-25, 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 player from the MIAA named to the D2CCA All-America Team. All five players from the Central Region on the national ballot received All-America honors.
