Emma Koech '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a senior at Long Reach High School and I am excited to plan for my next 4 years! I have been a dedicated student-athlete for the past three years, so I know what it takes to focus on both academics and sports. I have been a competitive athlete for my whole life in many sports (competed at nationals for track and field 3 times, won state championships in gymnastics), so I know what it takes to be a competitive athlete. I would love to translate my experience into your golf program and play with a good team!

On the course, I am a team player and a leader, having captained my high school golf team. I am dedicated to giving back to the game by volunteering at local golf clinics and encouraging the next generation of golfers.

Recent highlights: Competed at the 2023 Maryland Amateur Championship on October 28-29 and shot a 79-75 to win the Women’s title.

Emma Koech, Long Reach (2024)

NOW: With still a year of high school left to play, Koech is well on her way to potentially graduating next spring as the best female golfer in Lightning program history. The two-time All-County performer burst onto the scene as a sophomore by averaging over 16 points per match and becoming the firstLong Reach female golfer to qualify for the state championship tournament (88 at districts) since Ellisa Lee accomplished the feat in 2011. Then, this past fall as a junior she averaged a Long Reach program-record 20.6 points per match during the regular season and qualified for states for a second straight year. She set a personal best in 2022 with 25points (2-over-par) in a match against Reservoir at FairwayHills
