Send a Tweet Parker Paxton of Riverton won the inaugural WyoPreps Athlete of the Year Award in the boys’ golf division, which was given out by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming. Paxton won the Class 3A state championship for the fourth time in a row to cap off his fall high school career. Everyone agreed that he should receive the honor. Throughout the autumn 2023 season, the senior participated in five tournaments and won them all. His mean score was 65.4. With rounds of 68 and 65 for a two-shot triumph last month in Worland, Paxton captured the 3A state championship. He became the third young golfer in history to win four straight state titles.

If there was any doubt that Paxton had a future in golf, just look back to 2020 when as a 14-year old, he tied for fourth in the Wyoming State Amateur (67-70-73—210, -6). He led by one stroke after the first day and finished just three off the lead; the three players ahead of him and the one he tied were all college golfers, including one recent graduate.
He would be undefeated that fall as a freshman, and would eventually win 21 of 22 high school events. His stroke average improved annually, from 69.4 his freshman season, to 68.1 (sophomore), to 67.5 (junior) and to 65.4 (senior). His best career round in competition is an 11-under par 61 which he recorded at Powell (Wyo.) Golf Club in a spring high school tournament this past April 28.
