Youngstown State Head Women's Golf Coach Nate Miklos has announced the signing of three golfers who will join the YSU program in the fall of 2018:
- Jenna Vivo (Boardman, Ohio)
- Pang Khuanrudee (Thailand)
- Rattika Sittigool (Thailand)
Jenna Vivo was named first-team all-league and first-team All-Northeast Ohio three times at Boardman High School. She posted an 18-hole average of 76 and a nine-hole average of 37 during her senior campaign. She earned medalist honors at the Lakeview Invitational with a 71 in her final season and was a four-time Vindicator Greatest Golfer of the Valley champion.
During her sophomore season, Vivo was the district medalist and qualified for the state tournament, placing 13th. She was also the individual sectional medalist as a sophomore and a junior. Vivo's cousin and fellow Boardman product, Brian Terlesky, will also be golfing at Youngstown State. Terlesky has signed a national letter of intent to play for Tony Joy and the YSU men's golf program.
Puthita (Pang) Khuanrudee attends the Benchama Maharat School in Thailand. She has put together a very strong 2017 season which has included multiple tournament wins. She finished fifth at the Chang Chiang-Mai Junior Golf Championships and earned a top-20 finish at the Talga-Thailand Ladies Golf Association Championship with a season-best round of 72. Pang also qualified for the National Student Tournament and the Youth Thailand Tournament this year.
Rattika Sittigool attends the Nakornpayap International School in Thailand. She played a handful of tournaments this past summer in the United States, including a first place finish at the Hurricane Junior Tournament at Augusta State with rounds of 73 and 72. Rattika also earned a runner-up finish at the Hurricane Junior Tournament at Duke with rounds of 75 and 73. She was also a 2016 qualifier for the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships where she finished in a tie for 29th.
Comments from Coach Miklos:
"We are very excited about our 2018 recruiting class and adding Jenna, Rattika and Pang. Each one of them have had a lot of success and we expect that success to continue at YSU. Our goals are very high and I believe we are going to see some great things this spring and in the future with the team we've put together. As I look to the future with our returning players and this recruiting class, I couldn't be more excited about the future of this program."
