Liberty's Dynamic Duo Wins Back-to-Back Disc Golf Championships
Date Published
Liberty University's dynamic duo, Cami Lazo and Grace Wilson, have cemented their reputation as one of the most formidable teams in college disc golf. Building on their inspiration from the Flames' historic 2024 national title-winning team, they led Liberty to a second consecutive championship victory at the 2025 College Disc Golf National Championship.
The competition took place at Rock Hill, South Carolina, where Lazo and Wilson clicked as teammates from the start. Their winning strategy was centered around leveraging each other's strengths, allowing them to feed off their unique abilities and propel Liberty to victory.
Initially, they trailed Emporia State by one stroke after singles action on Wednesday. However, the duo took off with consecutive 10-under par rounds at Winthrop Meadows during the best-shot team portion of the PDGA Major. As play shifted to Camp Canaan's wooded terrain on Saturday, Lazo and Wilson maintained their momentum after starting the day with a significant 7-stroke advantage.
In the end, they secured a decisive 6-shot win, solidifying Liberty's position at the top of the Women's Team world rankings. Emporia State's Madeline Joiner and Atlanta Krueger finished as runners-up, while Clemson's Noelle Erb and Missoury Wolff earned a tie for third with Milligan's Lily Marr and Grace Sanderson.
Meanwhile, in the Mixed College Disc Golf World, Cincinnati's team of Tanner Young, Ilkin Groh, Bradley Caldwell, and Luke Foglesong dominated their competition. After a disappointing playoff loss last year, they made a triumphant comeback to claim the 2025 title, hitting the ground running with an impressive 15-under par round at Winthrop Lakefront.
The Bearcats maintained their momentum throughout the tournament, culminating in another double-digit round on Saturday's final day. This performance secured their position atop the Mixed College Disc Golf World rankings, pushing them one step closer to achieving back-to-back titles.
Defending champions UNC-Charlotte made a strong comeback with a 10-under day, finishing just one shot ahead of North Carolina. While they may not have claimed the top spot, this impressive display showcased their determination to remain a force in the college disc golf world.
