Howson is the 10th ranked player in Ontario and earned a spot on the national team of Ontario that will compete in the 12th annual Can-Am Matches in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in March.
Howson was ranked 44th in Canada last season and finished third in the Toronto Star Women's Amateur. She qualified for match play with scores of 79-71 and made it to the semifinals.
She won the Canadian Junior Ping Match Play last summer after qualifying rounds of 76-76. Other top finishes for Howson included a third-place showing in the Ontario Junior Girls stroke play with scores of 71-75. She also won the Greens & Dreams Junior Invitational with scores of 70-71-73-71.
"I am excited that Delaney has chosen to join the racer golf family," Racer head coach Velvet Milkman said. "She has a good understanding of the game and a tremendous work ethic, plus she has a desire to improve."
Howson participates in the Strive for Excellence Junior Golf School which is run by Henry Brunton the Canadian National Team men's coach and National Junior Boy's Team coach.
"Delaney brings the skill set both on the golf course and in the classroom," Milkman said. "I'm excited she's going to be part of the MSU golf program."
The Racers have won seven Ohio Valley Conference championships including last spring.
