Calhoun Golfer Takes the National Stage at NJCAA Women's Championship in Iowa

Calhoun Community College sophomore Harper Quick, a native of Hazel Green, Alabama, is proudly representing the Warhawks this week as she competes in the inaugural NJCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championship, held May 13–16 at Cedar Pointe Golf Course in Boone, Iowa.

Harper received an at-large individual selection to participate in the national tournament, marking a historic moment not only for her athletic career but also for the NJCAA, as this is the first-ever Division II Women’s Golf Championship hosted by the organization. The event is being held at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) on its Boone Campus.

“Harper is a tremendous student-athlete and a fierce competitor,” said Richard Morgan, Calhoun’s Women’s Golf Coach. “To see her compete at this level on a national stage is incredibly rewarding. She’s earned every bit of this,” he added. 

Harper’s invitation follows a standout season in which she was named to the NJCAA All-District Team and earned a 4.0 GPA for the spring semester, which is an achievement that highlights her excellence both on the course and in the classroom.

"We’re so proud of Harper and all that she represents," said Kassie Mathis, Calhoun’s Vice President for Student Services. "She is a shining example of what it means to be a Warhawk and a student with strong determination, and her Calhoun family is cheering her on every step of the way this week."

The NJCAA has sponsored Women’s Golf since 1976 and launched the Division I and Division III championships in 2022. The new Division II championship hosted by DMACC at Cedar Pointe Golf Course brings national attention to the growth and depth of talent in women’s golf across the country.
