Heinsma claims the Summit Award with a 4.0 grade-point average as a physical sciences major.

On the course, Heinsma has competed in 15 rounds for the Eagles, with her best finish coming at the 2025 Hardrocker Spring Invite, where she finished fourth.
 
The RMAC’s Summit Award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA competing at the finals site of their respective sport’s championship. 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.
 
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be sophomores or above and have participated in their sport at their institution for at least two years. They must also be active members of their teams and travel to and compete at the RMAC championship event.
