Women's Coach Wes Skidmore
Wes Skidmore is in his sixth season as head coach of the St. Mary’s men’s golf program and his second as the coach of the Rattler women.
During his fiveyears at the helm of the men’s program, he has led the team to six straight NCAA South Central Region Tournaments, including a berth in the NCAA Championships during the 2005-06 season. The Rattlers have placed second or higher in the Heartland Conference Championships each of his six years, including the first Heartland crown for the school in 2004.
Six different Rattlers have placed in the top five in the South Central Region Tournament, including two who have advanced to the NCAA Championships. Skidmore has helped to produce 15 All-Heartland Conference honorees and three Heartland Conference Players of the Year: Matt Vela (2008), Jessica Harbin (2007) and Jamie Amoretti (2006).
St. Mary’s has won nine tournament titles during Skidmore’s tenure, including a school-record five during the 2003-04 season.
Last year the Rattler men again advanced to the NCAA South Central Regional despite the loss of two all-region players from the previous season. Leading the way was Vela, who was named Heartland Conference Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, as well as honorable mention All-American.
During the 2006-07 year, the men had both Amoretti and KC Lim win individual titles. Lim won three tournament titles and Amoretti won one. Both Lim and Amoretti placed in the top-15 at the South Central Region Tournament, each just missing out on a berth in the NCAA Championships. The Rattlers won one tournament, the Pepsi Crawford-Wade Invitational and took second in the Heartland Conference Championships.
On the women’s side, Jessica Harbin became just the second Rattler woman to advance to the NCAA Championships as an individual. Harbin won four tournaments, including the Heartland Conference Championships. She finished third at the NCAA West Regional, qualifying her for the NCAA Championships, where she placed 18th overall, the second highest finish for a Rattler woman in school history.
During the 2005-06 academic year, the Rattlers had the best golf season in school history. St. Mary’s finished second at the NCAA South Central Region Tournament, qualifying them for the NCAA Championships, where they placed 10th overall. Individually, Jamie Amoretti had the best individual season for a Rattler in school history, placing third at the NCAA South Central Region, and then followed that by winning the NCAA Division II National Championship, the first individual national championship in St. Mary’s school history. Amoretti was named Heartland Conference Player of the Year and was a second team NCAA Division II All-American for the Rattlers.
Luke Antonelli was a two-time All-American for Skidmore during the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons. He qualified for the NCAA Championships as an individual in 2003, placing second at the NCAA South Central Regional, then finishing 10th at the NCAA Championships. Antonelli was a first team All-American in 2004 and an honorable mention selection in 2003.
Prior to his time at St. Mary’s, Skidmore worked as a coach and teacher for the Northeast Independent School District for 32 years. He also worked as a coach at St. Gerard’s and Gonzales High School. He has two children, Kelby and Kenneth.
Skidmore was an NAIA All-Region performer on the baseball diamond for St. Mary’s University, while playing for the school from 1967-70. He also earned All-Big State Conference honors three times and was an honorable mention All-American. He graduated in 1970 with a degree in physical education.
