One of the top golfers in the state of Nebraska, Olivia Lovegrove joins the Huskers after an outstanding career at Lincoln Christian High School.

 

Lovegrove 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).

 

Lovegrove hopes to challenge for immediate playing time in Nebraska’s new-look lineup in 2024-25.

 

“Olivia has been a dominant player in Lincoln and the state of Nebraska this past year,” Nebraska Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “She loves Nebraska and has worked hard to be the best player she can be to help us be a better team. She is strong in the classroom and a wonderful person. We are looking forward to her being a Husker.”

 

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.

 

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

 

An outstanding student, Lovegrove was a two-time member of National Honor Society and a two-time academic all-conference selection at LCS. She plans to major in business administration at Nebraska.

 

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.
