Claire Sheldon
Title: Women's Assistant Coach (CA)
College: Harvard 2010
Experience: First Season

Sheldon is a graduate of the class of 2010 and was four-year member of the women’s golf team. She rejoins the Harvard community as a coaching assistant with the women's golf team after having spent two years teaching and working in Admissions at The Taft School in Watertown, Conn.

As a player at Harvard, Sheldon was a key driver behind the ascension of the team to their place as the best in the Northeast -- she helped the women to two of their three Ivy League Championships and still shares the record for the lowest single-round score in program history (4-under 68) as well as individual tournament wins (four). A three-time All-Ivy League selection, Sheldon helped the team win an impressive 21 tournaments during her tenure and was named team captain for her senior year.

As a result of her accomplishments, Sheldon received the Mary G. Paget Prize that is awarded each year the senior student who has contributed the most to women's athletics at Harvard.

A native of Milton, Mass., Sheldon played under current head coach Kevin Rhoads not only during her time on the team, but also prior to both of their arrivals at Harvard.

During the summer of 2012, Sheldon won the Massachusetts Amateur Championship repeating her victory from 2007.
