The SIUC women’s golf team signed two recruits for next season.

Allison Hiller, who is from St. Francis High School in Roswell, Ga., and Tracy Myers, who is from Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers, Ind., both signed letters of intent to come to SIUC.

Hiller has a 1.4 USGA handicap and was ranked 50th in the world according to the Titleist Amateur Rankings published in the Dec. 6, 1997 issue of Golfweek.

Hiller was the 1997 Southeastern Junior Golf Tour Player-of-the-Year.

Her three-round 235 helped her gain a fifth-place finish out of 122 golfers at the Georgia Women’s Amateur Championship last September.

Hiller also has a 92 average (of 100) at her high school. She has not yet declared a major at SIUC.

She’s an outstanding young lady, said women’s golf coach Diane Daugherty. She comes to us with a ton of experience and a ranking. We’re excited to have her.

Myers comes to SIUC with an all-county, all-conference and team MVP honors in all four seasons she played at Hamilton Southeastern High School.

She helped her team advance to regional competition all four years.

Myers won 28 medal honors in high school and owns her school’s scoring records for both the nine and 18 holes. She also won the league individual title her sophomore year and finished runner-up as a freshman and senior.
