‘An outstanding representative’
Community remembers fellow student, one of top golfers in Iowa State history
BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com Celia Barquin Arozamena was prolific from a young age. The native from Puente San Miguel, Spain, was a high school star before coming to Ames, Iowa, as an 18-year-old who was one of the top junior golfers in Europe. She placed second in the 2014 European Girls Team Championship. Barquin Arozamena — who was found dead this morning at Coldwater Golf Links at the age of 22 — was a freshman when she began to make waves as a part of the Cyclone women’s golf team. She finished her freshman season second on the team in scoring at 73.33 strokes per round — which put her in the top-10 in school history for scoring average — and made the All-Big 12 First Team. From there, she continued to improve. “We will never forget her competitive drive to be the best and her passion for life,” said Christie Martens, women’s golf coach, in a statement from Iowa State Athletics.
