Lovegrove joined the Huskers after an outstanding career at Lincoln Christian High School. She captured the 2022 Nebraska Class C individual state title before adding a runner-up finish as a senior for the Crusaders in 2023.

A four-time district champion, she also helped Lincoln Christian to a trio of district team titles (2020, 2022, 2023).

Before Nebraska
Lovegrove was the 2022 Nebraska Class C state champion and the 2023 Class C state runner-up, after finishing fourth at state as both a freshman and sophomore at Lincoln Christian High School.

A four-time district champion, Lovegrove fired a Class C state record 65 on her way to the district title as a junior in 2022. A two-time conference champion, Lovegrove’s 66 in 2023 also set the conference record.

The four-time all-state selection and three-time Super State pick was also the champion of all three Nebraska Junior Golf Spring Series events in 2023. She helped the Crusaders to a state runner-up finish as a freshman in 2020 and three district championships in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

Lovegrove was a member of Nebraska’s Four-State team in 2023 and 2024. She was also the runner-up at the 2024 Nebraska Girls Amateur Championship. An outstanding student, Lovegrove was a two-time member of National Honor Society and a two-time academic all-conference selection at LCS.

Personal
The daughter of Justin Lovegrove and Alecia Lovegrove, Olivia was born May 17, 2006 in Kansas City, Kan. She has a younger sister, Emily.

Olivia is majoring in business administration and earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll with a perfect 4.0 GPA in the fall of 2024. She was also a member of the 2025 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.

She chose Nebraska over Florida Atlantic and Grand Canyon.

“I chose Nebraska because of the school’s incredible care toward their athletes, the amazing College of Business and the high level golf program,” Lovegrove said. “Growing up in Lincoln, it has always been a dream of mine to be a Husker athlete.
