SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Trinity University Director of Athletics Bob King and Director of Golf Sean Etheredge have announced the hire of Shelby DeVore '18 as Trinity's Assistant Director of Golf for the 2021-22 season, working primarily with the women's squad.
"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shelby back to Trinity," Etheredge says. "Her past experiences as a standout TU student-athlete will be of great value in assisting our players as they navigate the challenges of academics and athletics at a high level. We're both excited for a great season this year!"
Recently named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference 30th Anniversary Women's Golf team, the former Tiger standout and three-time all-SCAC honoree returns to San Antonio just three years from earning her Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Trinity University.
The 2015 SCAC Freshman of the Year is currently based in Houston and works as the Director of Marketing and Operations with the Spirit Golf Association where she has also been the Assistant Tournament Director for The Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship.
During her previous tenure in San Antonio, the two-time SCAC Character & Community Athlete of the Week was a camp counselor, then Assistant Director of Junior Golf with Camp Olympia where she assisted PGA golf instructors with campers in practice, implementation of drills and course play. She also spent time as an intern with the Valero Alamo Bowl and was an editor of The Mirage, Trinity's annual yearbook.
Trinity Women's Golf return all four of its all-SCAC honorees from its 2021 SCAC Championship campaign: reigning SCAC Women's Golf Freshman of the Year Kiona Hsiu, senior Raquel Hill and sophomores Erin Flynn and Caterina Mora. Hsiu and Flynn were also selected as Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholars in July.
DeVore takes the reigns from former coach and longtime Trinity Director of Golf, Carla Spenkoch, who retired earlier this summer after 23 years in charge of the Trinity Golf program.
