Katelyn Young, Murray State women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder, will rejoin the Racers as an assistant coach for the upcoming 2025-26 season. 

After leading the Racers to the 2024-25 Missouri Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships, Young joined the Knox Raiders of the Women’s National Basketball League 1 in Melbourne, Australia. She contributed to the Raiders’ 2025 WNBL National Championship win by scoring 10 points and earning six rebounds in the final game. 

The five time all-conference player wrapped up her collegiate career with 3,029 career points, making her the 14th highest scorer in Division I history.  She is the second student-athlete in Murray State history to earn over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, and she averaged 19.5 points and 7.8 rebounds while with the Racers. 

Young will rejoin head coach Rechelle Turner during her assistant coaching debut at the CFSB Center on Monday, Nov. 3 against Trevecca Nazarene University.
