BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Women's Golf head coach Adam Gary announced the signing of Faith Martin and Catie Craig to his 2021 signing class on Wednesday.
Faith Martin of Bowling Green, Ky.
"We're really excited to have an excellent in-state golfer like Faith join our program," said Gary on the signee. "She will be graduating early and joining the squad in January, so she'll be able to learn from our veterans and upperclassmen before hitting the course for us in August. She has tremendous talent and she's a great addition to our program."
Martin heads to The Hill from just down the road at South Warren High School where she was a five-time District Champion on the women's golf squad. She appeared in the KHSAA State Tournament on six occasions. She finished third in one of her six trips along with three other top-10 finishes over the years.
The Bowling Green native recorded 16 high school invitational wins over her time as a varsity golfer. She was named First-Team All-State for three consecutive years. Martin also won five Hurricane Junior Golf Tour events as a junior golfer.
Martin has had impressive performances on the amateur stage as well, finishing in the top 120 at the 2020 North South Junior Amateur. She finished second at the 2019 Kentucky Junior Am and third in the 2020 event.
Catie Craig of Sautee Nacoochee, Ga.
"Catie is one of the best junior golfers in Georgia and across the southeast," said Gary. "She has numerous accomplishments on and off the course, making her a perfect fit for what we do here on The Hill. She will be bringing a lot of talent and skill to our team come next fall."
Craig is known as one of the best female junior golfers in the state of Georgia, having won Blitz Sports Golfer of the Year in each of her high school seasons thus far (2018, 2019, 2020). The White County High School golfer won the 4A State Championship in 2018 and finished as the runner-up in 2019.
She was awarded the 2016 Triple A Award, awarding a student-athlete who represents the best in athletics, attitude and academics.
As far as junior and amateur golf go, Craig has recorded numerous top finishes at American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events as well as amateur events throughout the southeast.
