BOULDER CITY, Nev. – For the second consecutive year, Chadron State senior Aubree Heinsma is the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Women’s Golf Summit Award winner, the league announced Saturday, ahead of the 2026 RMAC Women’s Golf Championship at the Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nevada.

Heinsma claims the RMAC Summit Award for the second straight year with an unblemished 4.00 grade-point average as a Physical Sciences major. The junior from Windsor, Colorado, has competed in four events for the Eagles this season, with her best finish coming at the SMSU Challenge, where she tied for 11th. Heinsma was the highest Chadron State finisher at the conference championship last season (30th), with hopes of climbing the leaderboard this year.  

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 compete 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.
