Three members of the Xavier golf team have been named to the Girls All-America team by the National High School Golf Coaches Association.

Laura Berman, Kimberly Kim and Kaira Martin were selected for the team. Two Gators, Katerina Ruzickova and Sarah Schmelzel, were awarded Girls Players of Achievement.

This is the fifth year of the awards program, which honored 18 boys and girls as All-Americans and Players of Achievement. Nearly 140 players have been recognized through this program. The awards are based on playing ability, academics, community service and extra-curricular activities.

“Xavier is so proud of these players because they have worked so hard to achieve these honors,” Sister Lynn Winsor, Xavier’s vice principal for activities and athletics, said in a realease. “This award recognizes their leadership on and off the green.”

Xavier has had several graduates honored in previous years, including Katie Allare 2008 Girls Golf Player of the Year. Allare, along with fellow Xavier grads Cheyenne Woods and Margarita Ramos and current sophomore Martin, were named to the 2008 NHSGCA Girls All-American Team. Woods was also named to the All-American team in 2007.
