Utah Tech junior
Jenna Anderson was named Western Athletic Conference Women's Golf Player of the Week on Thursday after she helped lead the Trailblazers to a runner-up finish at the 2025 spring-season opening Utah Valley Wigwam Preview earlier this week.
Anderson (5-6; Dousman, Wisc./Kettle Moraine HS/Green Bay) put together the best overall tournament of her collegiate career as she took home runner-up honors.
The junior was one of only two golfers in the field to post a red number on day one as she rolled in three birdies and 14 pars en route to a 1-under 71 to stand tied for first on Sunday. She then followed that up with another 71 on Monday, including birdieing four of her final six holes, and held the clubhouse lead by three shots heading into Tuesday's final loop.
The junior (71-71-76-218; +2) penciled in four more birdies on Tuesday, but a triple-bogey on 17 was her undoing as she had to settle for runner-up honors.
Anderson's plus-2 218 was her 54-hole collegiate career low score, and was the third-lowest individual score posted by a Trailblazer this season.
In addition, Anderson's runner-up result was Utah Tech's second second-place individual finish, and the 10
th-individual top-five in the program's D-I era overall.
Utah Tech will head back to the "Grand Canyon State" later this month to play at the Western Michigan-hosted Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational on Feb. 21-23, at the Rio Verde Country Club.
