Embracing Differences: Amelia McKee’s Mismatched Socks

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Have you ever worn mismatched socks?

New Mexico State women's golfer Amelia McKee does it on purpose – for a purpose.

The junior, who burst onto the scene during her debut season as an Aggie in 2019-20, is unmistakable on the golf course. Her exposed left leg decidedly contrasts her right leg, which always bears a knee-high and NM State-branded sock.

You might think she got dressed in the dark, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

"I started wearing the two different socks when I was 11 to show everyone, especially my cousin, that just because you're different doesn't mean you're not capable of what everyone else can do," McKee said.
