Emilee Booker, a senior from Genoa City, Wisconsin, and a member of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire women's track and field team, has been named UW-Eau Claire's Female Athlete of the Year for the 2024-25 season.

Booker achieved three All-America honors during the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2025. During the indoor season, she secured third place at the NCAA Championships in pentathlon, marking her first indoor All-America honor. She recorded a pentathlon score of 3,693 this season, which is the second-best in program history.

In the outdoor season, Booker's performance continued to excel. She achieved a heptathlon score of 5,074 at the Phil Esten Challenge in April, also ranking as the second-best in school history. In May, she earned two additional All-America honors at the NCAA Championships by finishing third in heptathlon and participating as the lead-off leg of the seventh-place 4x400-meter relay team. This contributed to the Blugolds' fourth-place finish in team standings—their best since 2015.

In addition to her athletic achievements, Booker was recognized for her academic performance by earning Academic All-District status from College Sports Communicators.

Throughout her career with the Blugolds, Booker became a four-time first-team All-American and won one conference championship. She also finished as a conference runner-up on four occasions.
