Heryford collected victories at the Iowa Junior Girls’ Amateur Championship, the Iowa Junior Open, and the Junior Tour Mid-Summer Classic. She finished runner-up in the 45th Iowa Jr. PGA Championship, and carded top ten finishes in the 10th IGAWomen’s Four-Ball Championship (with Saffire Sayre), Midwest Junior Championship, and the AJGA Preview at Meadowbrook.
