156 Bryan Regional, where she became the first UI women's golfer to compete in NCAA postseason competition since Stacey Arnold in 1990 and the second individual qualifier in program history. Ihm finished the regional with a three-round total of 231 (+15; 79, 75, 77) to tie for 69th. "e scores might not have been what I wanted, but I enjoyed it and made the most of the opportu- nity," said Ihm. "I can't let this tournament define my career and I think it's important to focus on all the good that happened this year. "As tough as it is going out on this note, I think it's important to look at how far I've come and focus on the positives. It was an incredible senior cam- paign and I'm thankful for everything that this game has given me. It has taught me about myself and has brought amazing people into my life." While her accomplishments speak for themselves, Amy wanted to leave a different legacy with the program. "I hope people remember me as someone who pushed them to be their best," said Amy. "Whether it was in practice or on the course, I hope they remember the effort I put forward." In 1990, Arnold qualified for NCAA postseason competition as an individual. In 1991, the Iowa women's golf team made its first appearance at the NCAA Championships as a team. Ihm hopes his- tory repeats itself. "is team is going to be good," said Amy. "I hope my regional experience lights a fire under them. I hope they believe they can get there next year because they are so talented. Half of making it that far is knowing that you can."
