Geer is a three-time individual qualifier to the girls state golf tournament and tied for second at the 2010 state tournament. She tied for fifth in 2008 and finished sixth in 2009.
In addition to her individual state tournament accomplishments, Geer led Clarinda to a second-place finish in the team competition at the 2010 state tournament. She also led the Cardinals to a fifth-place finish at the 2008 state tournament.
Geer finished fifth in the Iowa Women’s Junior Amateur in 2010 and was a member of the Iowa 4-State Team in 2010.
Geer also participated in volleyball for four years, helping the Cardinals to the state tournament in 2010.
