The team captured 21 individual Top-25 finishes including Emma Davies’ 16th place finish at the conference championship. The Tommies improved from an 18-hole stroke average of 330 at the 2022 Summit tournament to a 305 average in 2023. 

Hanneman competed as a Division I golfer for four seasons at the University of South Carolina and played in one NCAA Championship meet with the Gamecocks. She also played as an amateur in the 1996 LPGA Edina Realty Classic; later competed on the Futures Tour and Players West Tour; and attended LPGA Qualifying School.
As a certified trainer with the Positive Coaching Alliance-Minnesota, she leads workshops for training youth sports coaches and parents on their role in developing not just the athletics side but also teaching sportsmanship and citizenship.

She served as head coach at the University of Minnesota from 2002-2007, and East Tennessee State from 2000-2002. 

Phil Esten, St. Thomas Vice President, and Director of Athletics says, "Katie has proven to be a values-based leader with an incredible golf IQ, and a love and passion for the game that is infectious. Even more, her commitment to developing our student-athletes off the course as much as on the course directly aligns with our vision at St. Thomas. I am excited to welcome Coach Hanneman and her family to the Tommie community, and I look forward to celebrating many successes with them."
