Students promote app to fight human trafficking on local, global scale Annie Tieu
Contributor Instead of No Shave November, a student group at UT is participating in No Slave November, which seeks to raise awareness on human trafficking during the month. The event is being promoted by the International Justice Mission (IJM) chapter at UT, a student group that, according to its pamphlet, “fights against injustice and oppression.” As a part of No Slave November, IJM UT is promoting TraffickCam, an app that helps combat sex trafficking. The app allows hotel guests to take photos of their room before altering it and then upload the photos with the hotel location as they check out. The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an investigator can efficiently search, in order to match a location to other images under investigation. According to the TraffickCam website, human traffickers “regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements.” When app users upload photos of hotel rooms, these photographs can be used to help find victims of human trafficking and as evidence against human traffickers. IJM UT is promoting the app by challenging other SEC schools to see which has the most community members download it. “The University Community,” according to a flyer made by IJM UT,
“can make a big difference because a lot of trafficking occurs around major sporting events.” “We believe our No Slave November Volunteer Challenge can help students become a part of the solution,” Anita Voorhees, sophomore in English and president of IJM UT, said. “College students think they cannot really make a difference, but downloading this app could potentially make a real difference in someone’s life.” The app was created in 2015 by the Exchange Initiative, a resource center that provides people with the information and connections they need to combat sex trafficking. According to the Exchange Initiative’s website, the app is “85 percent accurate in identifying the correct hotel in the top 20 matches, according to early testing,” and no personal information, other than the phone’s GPS location, is used. “I think it’s really cool,” Sydney Smith, freshman in kinesiology, said. “Human trafficking is definitely something that’s really scary to me just because I didn’t really know much about it, and now it’s becoming a bigger thing.” The goal of No Slave November and the TraffickCam app is to bring everyone into the fight against human trafficking. “It starts with us. It starts with our generation taking a stand for justice and helping those who cannot help themselves,” Voorhees said.

UT professors weigh in on Trump presidency Chris Salvemini
Asst. News Editor As president-elect Donald Trump builds his cabinet, demonstrators are taking to the streets nationwide to protest the election results. After Thursday, Nov. 10, Knoxville had two protests on the same day in response to the election. One attracted more than 150 students to Pedestrian Walkway and in the other participants marched down Gay Street. Both protests were a response to Trump’s campaign promises, which include deporting all undocumented immigrants, building a wall along the Mexican-American border and blocking Muslim immigrants from entering the U.S. “The language that he’s using about policing communities is terrifying to African-American citizens and other minority groups who have experienced those policies,” Patrick Grzanka, assistant professor in psychology, said. The election gave Republicans a majority in the Senate and House of Representatives, and Trump is expected to replace Justice Antonin Scalia with a Republican as well, leaning the Supreme court to the right. “In normal times, when you get that situation, there is an imperative on the party to act but not overshoot … but you basically have right now three Republican parties. You have the Republican establishment, the Tea Party
and then you have the Trump Republicans. There really aren’t a lot of Trump Republicans in Congress, but there’s a big Trump Republican in the White House,” Richard L. Pacelle, Jr., head of the Department of Political Science, said. Pacelle expects the party divisions to lead to a deadlock in Congress since the differences in the three versions of the Republican Party are significant. He said that Congress may find it difficult to enact meaningful legislation and the Supreme Court may have difficulty ruling on the issues that bring the Republican Party together, like LGBTQ rights or abortion. Trump has both supported and opposed LGBTQ rights and abortion in the past, and Pacelle does not expect that Trump appointing someone to the Supreme Court will immediately lead to impactful decisions. Changing a ruling like Roe v. Wade, which gives women the right to an abortion, requires a lengthy process of dismantling the decision through smaller rulings. Pacelle said some justices can also refuse to vote along party lines. Anthony Kennedy, a Republican-leaning Supreme Court justice, has consistently voted with liberal-leaning justices on social issues. But, on other topics, Trump may have more of a direct influence. “In foreign policy, the president has a lot more authority and power. I think in terms
of rolling back environmental things, in terms of an end to the Affordable Care act, there are some significant things he can do … Domestically, a president is really constrained in what he can do. But in foreign policy, they can have a lot more impact,” Pacelle said. “I think we may see a more rigorous vetting process where people who are here – people coming in – may be vetted to see if they have criminal records, but I don’t see any mass deportations coming.” Grzanka said that Trump’s campaign ran on a platform that targeted minority groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center collected 437 reports of hateful intimidation and harassment between Nov. 9–14. The FBI also reported a 6.8 percent increase in hate crimes from 2014–2015. “One of the things that are so important right now is to not stay silent,” Grzanka said. “You should reach out to (minority groups) and offer your support and your willingness to listen.” Pacelle, however, is doubtful about Trump’s willingness to sign any executive orders or enact any legislation against minorities. Originally known for his fiery tweets and inflammatory remarks at rallies, Trump seems to have changed his tone post-election. “The new Trump since Tuesday sounds completely different from the old Trump,” Pacelle said.
US cancels energy leases in Montana area sacred to Blackfeet Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. — U.S. officials cancelled 15 oil and gas leases on Wednesday in an area bordering Glacier National Park that’s considered sacred to the Blackfoot tribes of the U.S. and Canada. The cancellation was aimed at preserving the Badger-Two Medicine area, a largelyundeveloped, 130,000-acre wilderness that is the site of the creation story for members of Montana’s Blackfeet Nation and the Blackfoot tribes of Canada. “It should not have been leased to begin with,” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in announcing the cancellations at her agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. “This sets the right tone for how business should be done in the future.” Details on the cancellation were obtained by The Associated Press in advance of the announcement. The move comes amid sometimes-violent protests over an oil pipeline being built in North Dakota near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The Obama administration has
been criticized by some American Indians over its handling of the matter, and federal officials have sought to reduce tensions by saying they would consider re-routing the pipeline. Jewell said the leasing and pipeline disputes bear similarities: In both cases, she said, federal officials made decisions without sufficient input from tribal members who had cultural concerns. Blackfeet Tribal Chairman Harry Barnes said the pipeline protests and his tribe’s decades-long effort to block development in the Badger-Two Medicine reinforce the need for closer cooperation between the government and tribes. “Hey, this ain’t working. How do we find a better way to consult with the aboriginal people and inhabitants?” Barnes said as he stood beside Jewell on Wednesday. “The Blackfeet tribe has never been opposed to oil and gas exploration. We are opposed to oil and gas exploration on our sacred sites.” The 15 cancelled oil and gas leases on almost 23,000 acres were issued in the early 1980s and held by Oklahoma-based Devon Energy, according to Interior officials. Interior officials said they were sold without proper consultations with tribal leaders.
Another energy lease in the same area was canceled by federal officials earlier this year. No drilling has occurred and the cancellation was made in cooperation with Devon executives. Devon President David Hager said the cancellation “was the right thing to do.” It entitles the company to a refund of $206,000 for fees associated with the lease purchase. Montana U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said the company deserved credit for its willingness to relinquish the leases in an area that’s prime habitat for grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, elk and other wildlife. In March, federal officials canceled a 6,200acre lease in the Badger-Two-Medicine that was held by Solenex LLC. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, company has been seeking to drill for gas in the area for the past several years. It has challenged the government’s decision in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Two oil and gas leases remain in the area. Federal officials plan to address the remaining leases, but they have been unable to contact their owners, Interior spokeswoman Amanda DeGroff said. Efforts to cancel those leases would continue, Barnes said.

Final Diversity Dialogue of semester focuses on campus carry Isabella King
Staff Writer For the past four months, any full-time UT employee could have been carrying a handgun due to the campus carry law passed this past summer. This fact was the topic of the final Diversity Dialogue of the semester hosted by the Diversity Committee on Tuesday, Nov. 15. Other dialogues this year addressed police relations with minorities, mass shootings and freedom of expression. The campus carry law allows all full-time university employees to carry a concealed weapon if they have a gun license, have notified UTPD that they intend to carry a weapon and do not bring it into certain designated areas. Chief of UTPD Troy Lane, former President of the Faculty Senate Bruce MacLennan, Community Outreach Leader for Knoxville’s Educators Demand Gun Sense Kimberly Peterson and President of the UTK Chapter of Students for Concealed Carry Chandler Tuck participated in the final diversity dialogue. Panelists addressed questions and concerns from the moderator and attendees.
The first question was if guns on campus would make things safer. Lane declined to comment, but MacLennan and Peterson both thought that guns on campus would make things less safe. MacLennan said that while campus carry can prevent the shootings that supporters of the legislation cite, concealed carry can negatively influence other issues such as mental health problems, anger issues and accidental discharge. Tuck argued that guns will make the campus safer since people will be more able to defend themselves. The second question came from a student regarding the effect of guns on the ability of students to speak freely. Lane again declined to comment, but Peterson mentioned cases where university employees left their jobs over concealed weapons policies on campus. Tuck again disagreed. “I don’t support faculty leaving,” Tuck said, “but I personally don’t think that (this legislation) would have a huge impact on education here at the University of Tennessee.” The next question was on the role of student opinion in gun control legislation. All panelists agreed that student opinion should be considered before making legislation. Lane said that while he did not endorse or oppose the legislation he believed that if a person has strong
... I personally don’t think that (this legislation) would have a huge impact on education here at the University of Tennessee.” Chandler Tuck, president of UTK Chapter of Students for Concealed Carry
opinions on something, they should reflect those by voting. One hundred and thirty UT employees notified police of their intent to carry, but Lane said that out of the 130 who notified the police, only 10 attended the optional crisis training course KPD offered. When Peterson spoke about a lack of mental health screenings as a problem in gun control legislation, a member of the audience brought up mandatory training. The panelists were also asked how to make sure this new legislation does not affect campus safety. The panelists agreed that if a person
sees a weapon, he or she should notify UTPD because the law only allows people to carry concealed weapons. Peterson and MacLennan urged students to act to prevent more lenient measures like student carry from passing. Tuck encouraged the opposite. “We have great indication that college campus carry is coming down for students,” Peterson said. “Seventy-nine percent of college students don’t want this, so we need to organize, we need to get you all riled up, we need to get you all active in sending that message.”

Caught between a rock and a hard place It’s been about a week since the election, and my feelings about politics remain just as scrambled as when I heard that Trump is president. People are saying that it’s dividing people strictly into the left and right, but what about everyone else who isn’t an extreme? A few days ago, I overheard a conversation between two friends arguing whose candidate was “better.” One of them made the statement that if you vote for someone and they become the president-elect, everything that person does from that point on is your fault. I will be the first to say that I don’t agree with that. I’ve talked to some of my friends who did cast their vote for Trump, for the only reason that they liked his tax policies or his plans to clean up America’s infrastructure, not because of his racial slurs or his past with women. Of my friends who voted for Hillary, they voted for her because of her experience in politics and her proposals for strong public education, not because of the emails she’s deleted. It’s possible to like someone for a few qualities but not for all of them. Being a Buddhist, I’m committed to the mindset that there’s always a middle ground
Anu Kumar
Amateur Hour
in everything–beliefs included. You can be a Republican and have more progressive views; you can be a Democrat and be a bit more conservative; and you can be anywhere in between. And, even if it seems trivial, you could’ve voted Hillary Clinton without approving criminal tendencies or vote Donald Trump without agreeing with his outlandish claims on … well nearly everything. Now, in no way am I saying that either candidate has qualities that are just dismissible, because they’re not. However, these were the two main people the American people had to choose between. Clinton’s track record is about as good as my GPA after my first semester (I’ll give you a hint: it was really bad), and some of the things that came out of Trump’s mouth during the campaign made me want to vomit. I can fully understand why people are upset with the two candidates we had to choose from, and who ultimately won. Regarding the protests I’ve been seeing around campus and aired all over the news, I have a very linear opinion: peaceful protest or no protest. There are many people who have experienced oppression of some sort, and I do think it’s important that we think about
OPINIONS
the kind of culture that Trump may have seemed to “validate” for some of his more extreme supporters. Since coming to UT, I’ve had about the same amount of derogatory shouts of “terrorist” as I have catcalls. We can’t change that some people hold onto ideals they’ve been taught from such a vulnerable age, but we can change where they go from here. As Mohandas Gandhi once said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will leave the world being blind and toothless.” This applies to virtually everything, especially how we protest–whether it be against the Dakota Pipeline, animal testing for makeup or the election. All in all, we must remember to remain vigilant and listen to understand rather than listen to respond or retaliate. We must remember that while everyone has their own beliefs about controversial topics such as separation of church and state, abortion and what have you, conversation filled with hate will go nowhere, and you will learn nothing.

Shakespeare’s advice for Thanksgiving Peter Cates
For Pete’s Sake
Well everyone, it’s my last column for the semester, so as a treat to myself I’m going to write about books (and still try to manage to tie it into something relevant for my readers). About 400 years ago a man named William Shakespeare wrote a little play called Hamlet and modern day Peter just got to spend a whole semester in a special topics seminar called Hamlet 24/7, which is pretty much exactly what you think it is. One of the perks of having a small, upperlevel class with a kick-a** professor is that you might get to go to the movies one night. So Tuesday, we went to see a filmed version of the National Theatre’s production of Hamlet in London. It featured Benedict Cumberbatch and it was stunning. The scene that sticks with me most (spoiler alert, but honestly you’re a couple of centuries late) is Ophelia’s madness leading up to her suicide. The walls of the set had just been blown out at the end of Act III and Ophelia sits in the rubble tapping at a piano to try to find some semblance of meaning or direction or hope before climbing the rubble into the light. The scene was breathtaking. Even though I’ve read and discussed so much
about early modern revenge tragedies, the portrayals of Ophelia and the adaptations of her character for that scene, I couldn’t help but be moved by her aching. It conjured a renewed anger towards Hamlet and Claudius in me for using Ophelia as an instrument in their own revenge plots against each other. They allowed a family fight to ruin someone else’s life. And, it got me thinking about my own family and the drama that can sometimes come with being around people who have known you your entire life. Now I’m not saying your family drama is quite at Shakespearean tragedy levels (I hope). But, the holidays are coming up, and there will be plenty of opportunities to fight about politics and religion and money and life choices. If Hamlet is any indicator, it’s really easy to burn some important bridges. So instead find ways to talk about what brings you together, or at least eat good food and watch football. If you don’t, you might find that, like Hamlet, your entire family will end up killing each other and a Norwegian guy will take over your house. I mean, probably not, but why risk it?
“In a time when so many people are hurting and so many people are angry, your family might be all you’ve got.” That is to say, in a time when so many people are hurting and so many people are angry, your family might be all you’ve got. Embrace that. Art reflects life, guys, and we have a lot to learn from it. Peter Cates is a junior in rhetoric and writing and can be reached at pcates4@vols. utk.edu.

Kaizen offers authentic Asian dining without a flight Jordan Meyer
Contributor Asian food is a staple for most college kids around the country because of its affordability, accessibility and the fact that at 2 a.m., when you’re just getting back from a long night out, they’re one of the only places still open. But, Kaizen, an Asian eatery that opened this past June in downtown Knoxville, offers something a little more than late night egg rolls. I had the pleasure of grabbing dinner there the other night on my way home from classes. Though parking was hard to find, the location of Kaizen seems to be perfect. Its vibrant red lanterns outside make it hard to miss. The first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. All tables were bussed and set, the bar was freshly wiped down, and I could tell that the floors had been swept regularly. I was feeling pretty confident about this place. I must admit that I was surprised with the number of people dining in there at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday. There were a total of four families that seemed to be really enjoying their meals, which for a small restaurant is a pretty significant amount of people. It’s a cozy place with ambient lighting and music in the background,
almost a coffee shop vibe. Overall, I thought that it was a very comfortable setting. I was greeted by two staff members and was seated immediately. The wait staff was very friendly and patient with me while I figured out just what to order. It only took about 10 minutes before I placed my order for hot and sour duck noodles with vegetable fried rice and something called a Nashville bun. Once it arrived, I was in awe over the artful presentation of the food, and I almost didn’t want to eat it and ruin the pretty image. Though I have never been anywhere in Asia, I would guess that this food gets as close to the real deal as you could get. Everything that I ordered was pretty flavorful but not too overwhelming. The vegetable fried rice was full of so many different spices and vegetables that I couldn’t keep track of all the ingredients. The duck noodles were very good too, but out of everything I ordered, they were the least flavorful and required me to constantly stir them because the contents would find their way to the bottom. Last, the Nashville bun was the most interesting thing I have ever seen. It looks similar to a taco, but with a thick squishy shell. The menu describes it as “Fried chicken thigh, Sambal chili paste, Maggi spicy seasoning, with house
Kaizen offers a variety of authentic Asian cuisine. Alexis Owens • The Daily Beacon pickles.” It was delicious but incredibly spicy, so beware if you aren’t a fan of spice. The best part is that the portions are very generous, and I felt like I really got my money’s worth. I walked out of Kaizen full, a few
pounds heavier and happy, because everything I ordered cost only about $20. Overall I enjoyed Kaizen and would recommend it to anyone who is yearning for authentic Asian cuisine but is also on a budget.
Chivo Taqueria contains tequila options, not much else Allie Clouse
Contributor
Positioned just on the edge of Gay Street and within walking distance of Market Square, Chivo Taqueria fits perfectly into downtown Knoxville without being too close to the actual bustle of shops that normally see the crowds. Accompanied by a friend, I stepped into the rustic yet modern warehouse restaurant while “Bennie and the Jets” played. Dim lighting instantly set a laidback mood and the vintage bicycle hanging above only added to the cool vibe. We waited for approximately five minutes, despite there being no other idling patrons, and this gave me time to notice their customer base, which was composed mainly of 20-somethings hovering over the bar. I thought that this must be a hip place. The hostess hastily arrived, gathered a couple menus and showed us to a table. The table was about the size of a classroom desk and hidden in a corner but nevertheless cozy. Although, it was slightly awkward sitting in our candlelit corner directly across from a couple clearly on a date. Our waitress was casual both
in dress and manner and left a tall, glass bottle of water as we studied the menu. Everything on the menu had incredibly clever and amusing names including “Frying Nemo,” “Clusterduck” and “Taters Gonna Tate.” At first glance, it seemed that tacos may be their specialty, however, once I flipped to the back of the menu it was obvious that tequila was where they really shined. The entire page was covered in small print naming all the restaurant’s available spirits. This was strikingly different from the limited choices of starters, tacos, sides and desserts on the opposite side. After doing some research, I decided to settle on the street corn that had rave reviews online and the churros. My slightly more adventurous friend chose the “Party Fowl” chicken taco. Our food arrived both promptly and correctly, but we were shocked at the small portion size of the $3.50 taco. I was excited to bite into my grilled cob but again was disappointed by the overwhelming use of mayonnaise. It was also much less spicy than I had hoped from a Mexican restaurant. The taco was mediocre at best, leaving my friend and I expecting more. Finally, we moved on to the churros. Three wiry pastries were served with a small bowl of chocolate sauce. I preferred skipping the sauce whereas my friend enjoyed the condiment.
Chivo Taqueria is located on 314 S Gay Street in Knoxville. Alex Phillips • The Daily Beacon However, we came to a consensus that Twisted Taco’s churros were ultimately superior. We couldn’t complain about the overall price of the meals with mine totaling about $9 and my friend’s at just $4, but something was definitely still missing.
I do not believe that the chill atmosphere was enough to save this restaurant, but it obviously brought in a specific audience. Our overall experience was not worth the drive downtown, but it offered an interesting change from the usual on-campus dining options.

DeShields slam dunks ETSU in Lady Vols win Tyler Wombles Staff Writer
It was a big night for Diamond DeShields. The junior standout for the Lady Volunteers notched 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting, including 3-of-6 on three-point shots and 10 rebounds, on Tuesday, Nov. 15, helping lead her team to an 83-58 victory over East Tennessee State University. It was her fourth career doubledouble and the third of her Tennessee career. “I’m trying to just come into my own,� DeShields said. “I’m still becoming the player I want to be. I’m still improving, still getting better. But just trying to be more mature as far as shot selection. I think that I was more mature (tonight).� DeShields continued her impressive earlyseason stat line on Tuesday. Before that game, she was averaging 12.0 points and 5 rebounds per contest. “Obviously a great game for Diamond,� Lady

How to beat Str8ts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These QHHG WR EH ÂżOOHG LQ ZLWK QXPEHUV WKDW complete a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;straightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5].

Vols look to finish strong as fall season ends Taylor Crombie
Contributor
With the fall season wrapping up for Tennessee swimming and diving, sophomore Kyle DeCoursey is confident in his team and ready to take on the competition ahead. “We’re miles ahead of where we were this time last year in terms of speed in the water,” he said. “We’re just going to try to ride that as long as we can and keep swimming fast.” After splitting last week’s meet against Auburn at home, Tennessee will travel to Greensboro, North Carolina to compete at the NC State GAC Invitational from Thursday, Nov. 17, to Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. The three-day invitational will be Tennessee’s first championship-style event of the season with preliminaries starting at 9:30 a.m. and finals at 5:30 p.m. In addition to North Carolina State’s top-ranked men’s team and No. 6 women’s team, the Vols will compete against Duke University, Marshall University (women), Notre Dame University, United States Air Force Academy (men), University of Miami (women) and West Virginia. The Vols aren’t worried about the level of competition or the format of the meet, though.
“I’m just ready to get out there with some of the best in the country, some of the best guys in the world, and just race and have fun,” DeCoursey said. DeCoursey was responsible for two of the men’s seven wins against Auburn, taking the 50 freestyle (19.85) and 100 freestyle (44.24). His 50 freestyle time was his best of the season. Two Vols earned SEC honors for their performances against Auburn. Freshman Meghan Small was named Swimmer of the Week and junior Liam Stone was named Diver of the Week. Small won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:48.03, the 200 backstroke in 1:56.01 and the 400 individual medley in 1:56.01 to pick up her first three wins of her career. Stone broke 400 for the first time this year to win the 1-meter event with 418.80 and the 3-event with 401.78. For Small, who has performed well in her events despite dealing with an ankle injury, the season so far has been unreal. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before,” she said. “It’s new, but I like it … I’m glad it’s going as well as it has been given my ankle.” Diving coach Dave Parrington is eager to see how Tennessee divers perform against UNC, who they faced at the beginning of the season, and the new competition under championship conditions. “It’s always good to dive in a meet where you
Liam Stone dives for the Vols against the Louisville Cardinals on Oct. 27, 2016 at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center. Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon have a good number of competitors because that also readies (them) for the championship season as well where you have longer events, longer
meets,” Parrington said. “We’ve been pointing to this meet as our biggest meet of the fall.”

Women’s tennis coach resigns
Staff Report The University of Tennessee Athletics Director and Vice Chancellor Dave Hart announced on Wednesday that women’s tennis coach Mike Patrick has resigned from his position. Why the 30-year head coach decided to resign now has yet to be announced, but the university said that news regarding a possible new coach of the program would be announced “in the coming days.” Patrick is the “winningest” coach in the program’s history, racking up 473 wins and 310 losses in his tenure at UT. Patrick has seen 23 of his teams at UT earn Top-25 national finishes in rankings. A total of 12 Vols have earned All-American honors while Patrick was head coach. Six of those 12 have earned multiple All-American awards.
• Courtesy of Craig Bisacre • Tennessee Athletics Patrick began his coaching career in 1984 at the University of Kentucky, earning SEC Coach of the Year Honors once during his twoand-a-half year tenure. After leaving Kentucky, Patrick coached the men’s tennis team at Arkansas and the USTA National Team. The women’s tennis team finished their season last month and won’t have another match until Jan. 14, 2017.
The Tennessee Vols’ golf program received a huge boost to the program when Kristin Engle signed her National Letter of Intent to play for the women’s golf team next year. “I chose Tennessee because of the great coaching staff, excellent practice facilities, and it is a nationally topranked program,” Engle said. Engle joins the vols as the number one ranked player in the state of Kentucky and the 10th ranked golfer in the nation in the class of 2017. Engle has been a dominant golfer in the state of Kentucky over the past four years. She has been the Kentucky Class
A Region Individual Champion three out of the last four years (2013, 2015 and 2016). In 2015, she was also the Kentucky Class A State Champion and earned All-State and All-Region honors. Engle led her high school, Barbourville High School, to back-to-back state championships in 2015 and 2016 and a Region 9 championship in 2015. Not only is Engle eager to join the Vols in the fall of 2017, but head coach Judi Pavon is excited to have her onboard as well. “I’m thrilled that Kristin has chosen to sign with Tennessee,” Pavon said. “She is passionate about Tennessee and passionate about golf and will be a great addition to our program. She is an extremely hard worker, and I’m expecting her to jump in and play right away.”
