Jen Young, the only four-time All-America award winner in the history of women's golf in the WIAC, had a very brilliant UW-Oshkosh career.

Young's first season at UW-Oshkosh was an exciting one as she led the Titans to a WIAC title and a fourth-place finish at the Division III Championship held at The Golf Courses of Lawsonia in Green Lake. Young placed second with an 18-hole score of 168 strokes at the WIAC and 36th with a 72-hole score of 342 strokes at the Division III championships.

Young was unable to compete at the WIAC Championship the following season due to an injury. She did recover to participate at the Division III Championship seven months later and finished 18th with a 72-hole score of 334 strokes.

Young placed in the top 15 in each of the 10 tournaments that she competed in during the 2005-06 season. She was the second-place finisher in three events while ranking sixth with a 36-hole score of 160 strokes at the WIAC and 15th with a 72-hole score of 327 strokes at the Division III championships.

Young's final season as a Titan included six top four finishes among the 10 tournaments that she participated in. Young placed second with an 18-hole score of 158 strokes at the WIAC and 12th with a 72-hole score of 322 strokes at the Division III championships.

Young, who also led the Titans to a second-place team finish at the WIAC Championship held during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, played 73 18-hole rounds during her UW-Oshkosh career and averaged 80.6 strokes per round, including a career best of 80.1 during the 2006-07 campaign.
