Wheaton, Ill. – Mike Schauer ('93), Athletics Director at Wheaton College, has announced changes in personnel for Wheaton's women's and men's golf programs. Paul Craig has announced that he is stepping down immediately as head coach for both programs.

Schauer has named Dr. Kelly Vazquez as head coach of the Wheaton women's golf team. Jonny Tink will serve as the head coach of the Thunder men's golf program for the remainder of the 2025-26 school year. Schauer says of the changes, "I am excited that we have split the position for both programs so that we have a dedicated coach for each team."

She was named to the CCIW Academic All-Conference Team three-consecutive seasons, beginning in 2014. She was also named to the National Women's Golf Coaches Association (NWGCA) All-American Scholar Team in those same years.
