COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the second consecutive year, Windsor, Colorado's Aubree Heinsma has been announced as the RMAC Women's Golf Summit Award winner ahead of the first round of the RMAC Women's Golf Championships on Sunday. The Chadron State senior sports a perfect 4.00 GPA through 118 completed credit hours as a physical sciences major. 

The Summit Award is given to the RMAC student-athlete in each sport that has the highest GPA of all qualifiers for the conference tournament. Heinsma, who will compete in the No. 5 slot for Chadron State at Boulder Creek Golf Course starting on Sunday, is set to tee off at 11:18 a.m.

Heinsma is the first women's golf student-athlete to repeat as the Summit Award winner since Colorado Mesa's Megan Liborio, who won in 2018 and 2019. Heinsma is the third Chadron State Summit winner in 2025-26, joining Shania Wear for women's wrestling and Madison Clause in women's indoor track and field. 

Now a senior, Heinsma missed the fall portion of the golf season due to injury but has competed in all four spring events this season for the Eagles. Her best leaderboard finish was 11^th out of 62 entrants at the SMSU Challenge in Phoenix, while her best score to par came at the Southern Colorado Open, when she shot 11-over 155. 

Heinsma will be looking to repeat her strong conference tournament from 2025. After claiming her first Summit Award during last year's tournament, Heinsma finished a team-high 30^th and was one of only two golfers to hit an eagle over the course of the event.

Summit Award winners must have competed in 20 percent of available competitions throughout the current season. All GPAs are based on a straight-grading scale to ensure consistency among nominees. All ties are broken by the total number of credit hours completed through the most recently concluded semester.
