The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) membership has named UNM head coach Jill Trujillo the 2009 Central Region Coach of the Year.
The LPGA T&CP membership’s five sections – Central, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and Western – annually select winners in each of the three categories.
Among the sectional winners in each category, the LPGA T&CP Executive Committee selects the overall national award winner for each category, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
A 1990 UNM graduate and women’s golf letterwinner from 1987-90, Trujillo is in her third season in charge of the women’s golf program. Trujillo has led New Mexico to four team titles, including consecutive Mountain West Conference championships in 2008 and ’09. She was named the 2007-08 MWC Coach of the Year.
