Illinois head coach Renee Slone has announced that Alexis Myers will join the women's golf team for the 2025-26 season.
"We are excited to welcome Alexis to the Illinois golf family," Slone stated. "After leading her high school team to an IHSA state title last fall, she was able to graduate in December and has used the spring semester to refine her game, compete in tournaments and get a head start on college coursework by taking classes. These actions show her commitment to preparation and putting herself in the best possible position to be successful. She also played high school basketball and will add another dimension of competitiveness to our program."
Slone added, "We are looking forward to the impact she will have as we continue to build on our successes from this spring."
Myers, hailing from Northbrook, Illinois, contributed significantly to Glenbrook North High School's consecutive IHSA 2A state championships in 2023 and 2024. During last year's state final tournament, Myers secured second place individually while helping her team set a new state record with a score of 585.
In August 2024, Myers claimed victory at the IWGA Girl's Junior Amateur held at Aldeen Golf Club in Rockford, Illinois, winning by seven strokes.
Her participation in 57 IJGA tournaments between 2015 and 2024 resulted in 24 wins, nine second-place finishes, and ten third-place placements. In recognition of her achievements, she was named the IJGA Player of the Year for 2022.
