SOPHOMORE KALYN THAYER: Kalyn’s best tournament as a Lobo rookie came in her first collegiate event and UNM’s first of the 2013-14 season. She went into the 70s twice at the Col. Wollenberg’s Ram Classic and carded her best score as a Lobo on the final 18 holes with a 77.

She had to battle to try and crack the talented Lobo lineup but got in six rounds as a UNM freshman. In UNM’s fall season of 2014, Thayer carded her best 18 holes on the final day in each of the five events (including dual with UTEP).

Thayer is in her second year at the University of New Mexico. She comes to the Land of Enchantment from West Albany High in Albany, Ore., where she was both an outstanding golfer and an exceptional student.

Kalyn was valedictorian at West Albany High where she also was a Presidential Scholarship Candidate and voted the U.S. Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete. She was a member of Society of Women Engineers.

Kalyn’s favorite athlete is American soccer player, Clint Dempsey. She also is a fan of chocolate cake. Her parents are Doug and Rebekah, who was a gymnast from 1983-87 at UC Davis.
