Olivia Bowen '18 Recruiting Profile

November 2016 Personal Statement
My name is Olivia Bowen, I am a 5'5 right handed pitcher. I go to Fair Haven Union High School, in Vermont, and play on our varsity softball team. I am determined to play softball in college with a great team and awesome coaches. I am a very well rounded person, I get along with everyone. I mainly pitch, but I can play anywhere that you ask me to go. I will become the player you want me to be at any position on the field. My secondary position is first base, but would not mind anywhere that you put me. I work hard every practice and want nothing but the best for myself. As well as on the field, I also want the best academic school I can possibly get in to. I work hard in the class room, and that carries out onto the softball field. I have very good time management skills, juggling school and sports isn't easy but I still manage to get good grades. I strive to be the best I can at my academics and softball. I have leadership skills in the classroom and out on the field.
