Columbia teen's disc golf star rising after national win

Kayla Hess is the winds section captain in the Columbia High School marching band.

She's treasurer of the student council, and a member of the school's Mini-Thon, which raises money for kids with cancer.

A straight-A student, Hess has just been accepted to the National Honor Society. She recently joined Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Other than that, there's not much going on in the sophomore's life.

Oh, wait.

She also plays disc golf — lots of it. She's won 39 times in her 81-event, four-year amateur career and can claim to be the nation's premier 15-year old disc golfer after winning the 2023 PDGA Women's National championship in the 15-under division.
