Weed Earns SEC Freshman of the Week Honor
February 21, 2024 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE – For the first time in her career, Avery Weed was named SEC Freshman of the Week, the Southeastern Conference announced on Wednesday.
Weed earned the freshman of the week honor based on her play at the Nexus Collegiate Invitational last week. She finished the tournament as runner-up with a score of 1-under par.
Out of the 66-player field, only five golfers finished the tournament under-par. Out of those five, Weed was the only freshman.
The second-place finish marked Weed's best finish in a collegiate tournament and her first finish in the top five. This also marked the best finish for a freshman in program history since 2022, when Julia Lopez Ramirez earned an individual victory at the Westbrook Invitational (Feb. 28).
Weed is the fifth Bulldog to earn the honor of being called SEC Freshman of the Week. This also marks the first time a Bulldog earned the honor since Izzy Pellot did nearly a year ago (Feb. 22).
Mississippi State will return to the course on March 4 for the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate.
