Michael Shedd is set to lead the Indian Hills Women's Golf program for the second consecutive season. The first head coach in program history, Shedd was appointed to lead the Warriors in June, 2023.
The Indian Hills Women's Golf squad made an immediate impact on the NJCAA Women's Golf scene in its debut season in 2024-25. Under the tutelage of Shedd, the Warriors placed 14th overall at the 2025 NJCAA DI Women's Golf National Championship in Garden City, KS after placing second overall at the 2025 NJCAA DI Women's Golf Plains District Championship.
The Warriors saw a number of impressive showings throughout the course of the season, including the program's first-ever team title in its debut event at the Statesmen Invitational in Oskaloosa, IA in September. The Warriors were led by freshman standout Joska Nelis who captured the individual medalist honor at the event.
Along with the opening victory, the Warriors took home three tournament titles throughout the year in addition to a pair of runner-up showings. Joska, a seven-time ICCAC DI Women's Golf Athlete of the Week, secured three individual titles while fellow freshman Veronica Rodriguez earned one individual title.
Indian Hills made its presence felt early as the Warriors cracked the top-10 in the NJCAA national rankings. The program was a consistent presence inside the top-15 throughout the duration of the year.
In the classroom, the Warriors were recognized as NJCAA Academic Team of the Year for maintaining a cumulative team GPA of 3.0. The Warriors saw four individuals earn NJCAA All-Academic honors along with 11 ICCAC Academic All-Region honors.
Following a national search, Shedd was tapped to lead the newest sport offering at Indian Hills Community College in June, 2023. Women's golf became the 19th collegiate sport at Indian Hills and will compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) DI level and in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC). The program was awarded a Sport Opportunity Grant through the NJCAA Foundation to aid in recruiting and additional components of the program. Shedd will begin the recruitment process throughout the 2023-24 academic year with competition for the program set to begin in the fall of 2024.
Shedd joins the Warrior program after previously serving as head coach of the men's and women's golf programs at Lyon College, an NAIA institution in Batesville, AR. Shedd oversaw all facets of the programs, including recruiting, budgeting, scheduling, and organization of home events. Both programs finished in the top seven of the American Midwest Conference Championship. Academically, three individuals were named to the 2023 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete team.

Prior to Rivercrest, Shedd taught at Trumann Public school in Trumann, AR and served as the Volunteer Interim Head Golf Coach where he led the program to its first state appearance in more than 30 years.
Shedd has been a part of First Tee, a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges by integrating the game of golf. Shedd has also worked professionally under former PGA Tour pro and Arkansas University All-American Deane Pappas.
