Yeoh Named Academic All-America

(AUSTIN, Texas) – Sophomore Kaylin Yeoh of the Carnegie Mellon University women's golf team was named to the 2023 Academic All-America Women's At-Large Team selected by the College Sports Communicators (CSC). Yeoh found a spot on the third team and is one of four sophomores to be named for Division III out of 45 student athletes honored among the three teams.

Yeoh's Academic All-America recognition is the first for the women's golf program. The sophomore helped lead the Tartans to their second straight fourth place showing at the 2023 NCAA Championship and was named an All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). She ended the year with a scoring average of 76.7 in 17 rounds of play and ranked third on the Cardinal and Gray. Yeoh recorded her season-low round of one-over par 73 at the Golfweek DIII Fall Invitational.

In the classroom, Yeoh carries a 4.00 in information systems. She was named a WGCA All-America Scholar following last season and this past February was Carnegie Mellon's Deloitte Undergraduate Case Competition Runner-Up. Yeoh has worked on various projects including Re-Engineering the Early Stages of YouTube where she developed user stories and conceptual model to address customer pain points, then converted to relational and physical model. She created a video game called PooPoo Valley which is a modified version of Stardew Valley and recreated Pamela's Diner's website.

Yeoh interned for DYNE Technologies as a technology associate in the summer of 2022 and is currently with National Institute of Standards and Technology as a machine learning research intern.
