She averaged a 13th place finish in 3 events, including a first-place finish at the Rend Lake College Fall Invitational.

“Kaitlyn had a great month and also finished the with seven birdies as well,” said Coach James Gray. "Kaitlyn has really put in the time over the summer and improved a ton since her freshman season. As a coach, you love to see the progression from year one to year two, and she is a great example.”
