A senior from East Troy, Wisconsin, who exhausted her eligibility this past spring at Michigan State, carried a 3.81 grade point average in General Management.
Buchholtz completed her tenure as a four-time Big Ten champion in the high jump and the school-record holder in the event at 1.83 meters (6 feet).
She has grand total of seven-career Big Ten Medals to her credit and was a First Team All-Big Ten selection during the 2012 indoor season, earning a gold medal at the Big Ten Indoor Championships.
Buchholtz was also an All-Big Ten Second Team selection after earning a silver medal at the outdoor championships in May.
