Personal Statement

My name is Nicole Ekhoff and I am from Bloomington, IL. I am a 2028 graduate currently in 8th grade at Kingsley Jr. High School in Normal, IL with a 3.4/3.0 GPA. I plan to attend University High School in the fall of 2024. I play for The Hitting Center 2010 Clayton and am a Catcher, but I also play Outfield.

Although academics are my top priority, my unmatched work ethic, competitiveness, and energy has driven me to become the best 5’9” 150lb catcher and teammate I can be at 13 years old. My average pop time is 1.94 seconds and my personal best is 1.81 seconds (captured at University of Tennessee Elite Winter Catcher’s Camp 12/2/23). 

Please take a moment and check out my stats and videos on my player profile https://recruit-match.ncsasports.org/clientrms/athletes/12990501. It is not only my dream, but my intention to play college softball at the highest D1 level.

I am excited to be playing select ball with The Hitting Center 2010 this upcoming season. My team is extremely talented, and we will be playing an exclusive PGF schedule against some of the best competition in the country. This will allow the best opportunity for me to showcase my talent, while continuing to grow.

I would love to receive any information on camps or events you will be attending or hosting in the future. I look forward to speaking with you soon to discuss my goals and ambitions in greater detail.

Thank you!

Nicole Ekhoff
