TOWSON, Md. – The Landmark Conference selects 23 senior scholar-athletes each year to recognize the top student-athletes in each sport based on academics and athletics. The honorees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives, athletic communications, and diversity, ethnicity, and inclusion designee.

Drew University women’s golf student-athlete Roxy Riles has been named a 2025-26 Landmark Conference Senior Scholar-Athlete. A biology major with a chemistry minor and a 3.59 grade point average, Riles closed out one of the most accomplished careers in program history while excelling both academically and through service and leadership.

Riles became Drew’s first-ever four-time All-Landmark Conference selection in women’s golf, earning First Team honors in all four seasons of her career. She placed sixth at the Landmark Conference Championships in 2023, fourth in both 2024 and 2025, and tied for second in 2026. Riles also helped lead the Rangers to three consecutive runner-up finishes at the conference championships from 2023-25. Over her career, she shot an 82.2 average over 67 rounds. During her senior season, she achieved a career-best 80.5 scoring average and carded a personal-low even-par 72. In each of her final two seasons, she finished among the top 10 in nine of her 10 events and earned medalist honors four times throughout her collegiate career.

Academically, Riles earned College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honors twice (2024, 2025) and was a three-time Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll selection. She was also recognized twice as a Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholar and became a member of both the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society for student-athletes and Gamma Sigma Epsilon National Chemistry Honor Society. Additionally, she earned Dean’s List recognition three times during her time at Drew.

Riles remained heavily involved in leadership, research, and community engagement throughout her collegiate career. She was a four-year member of Drew’s Pre-Health Society and spent two years conducting research in both the organic synthesis and biochemistry labs. She also participated in the Drew Summer Science Institute in 2024 and volunteered with Drew Unified, a partnership with the Special Olympics, during the 2024-25 academic year. Outside of campus, Riles has worked as a medical assistant for Your Kids Urgent Care in St. Petersburg, Florida, since May 2025.
