Colette Le '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi!

(In progress) I aspire to attend a college or university that encourages me to balance and succeed in both rigorous academic and athletic programs. I am drawn to (and have always learned the most from) coaches who are really passionate about teaching and coaching.

My academic aspirations lean into science. More specifically earth sciences and how geology affects society. Anthropology, archelogy, history, culture and even music. Pangea blows my mind. My dad is a rocket scientist (legit) and my mom manages non-profits - so who knows. With all that perspective, I’ll probably wind up going to law school or becoming a researcher.

While I’m just starting my sophomore year in high school (GPA 3.8-ish/weighted 4.2 with Honors classes) I think I would fit best in any (DIII or DII) strong college program somewhere in the Northeast US or even Canada. My family is in New Hampshire and I really dig them. It’s important to me to be near the ocean or a lake.

This past year I was a three-sport athlete in addition to playing club softball all year long. I was named the, “Hardest working player,” on my basketball team. I led my JV softball team in batting (.658), homeruns, steals, OBP and SLG. I led in HBP, too but that’s probably because I hit lefty and am 6 feet tall. My secret weapons are my speed and love of being a member of a team.  Most recently (November 2023) I made my High School Varsity basketball team as post/forward.

I'm a member of my High School's Spirit Club and Gardening Club. Basically that means I design player-posters for events and weed the school garden. My hobbies are the visual arts (drawing, painting, photography); community service (peer leader for autistic teens), and; pet, house and baby-sitting. 

P.S. I have three cousins that recently played college (DI) sports: volleyball @LSU; track @UT Austin and tennis @Brown. My grandfather played basketball and baseball for Iowa State U in the late 1950's.
