2022-23 ACAC Women's Rookie of The Year

Edmonton, AB (September 28, 2022) – The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) is pleased to announce Kristine Dixon of the SAIT Trojans has been selected as the 2021-22 ACAC Women’s Golf Rookie of the Year. 

Dixon capped a successful first season in the ACAC by helping the Trojans women’s and mixed teams to gold medals, and by winning the women’s individual silver medal, at the Conference Championships held this past weekend and hosted by Concordia University of Edmonton. 

She was one of the conference’s top female golfers all season long, tying for first at the South Regional event in Medicine Hat, Alta., and taking second place at the North Regional tournament held in Lac la Biche, Alta. Her final round 78 in Edmonton was the lowest score turned in by a female all season long.

“Kristine came to us as a highly-touted recruit and she did not disappoint,” said Trojans Director of Athletics and Recreation, Wade Kolmel. “She worked extremely hard throughout the season and overcame adversity in the final weekend to help our Trojans women’s team capture a championship banner. We congratulate her on this achievement.”

Kristine Dixon is an Academic Upgrading student from Calgary, Alta.

This prestigious award was recognized at the 2022 ACAC Golf Championship hosted by Concordia University of Edmonton in Edmonton, Alberta.
