2023 Spotlight #3Personal Statement
My name is Ava Shannon. I am currently playing for the Renegades 16U club out of North Liberty Iowa. I currently attend East Buchanan High school and made the varsity softball team this year as a 9th grader. I was the number 1 pitcher and starter at 3B. I am also currently involved in Dance and play both club and high school school volleyball. I also play golf on the varsity team and won conference, district and state qualifier . I am interested in studying education and coaching in college. I have played softball since I was 5 and it has been a large part of my life. I have played all positions except catcher so consider myself a utility player and will play wherever I can help the team. I am a dedicated and hardworking student -athlete who is looking to play softball at the next level.
