Personal Statement
My name is Caitie Benoit. I have been playing softball at the varsity level since 7th grade. I began to start at the varsity level as an 8th grader catching for a senior. I have been a captain of my high school team both freshman and sophomore year. I've also been on the All-Berkshire and All-Transcript teams for Berkshire County. I am a great leader and love to have fun. I play for the Bennington Bandits from Bennington, Vermont and the Berkshire Force from Pittsfield, Massachusetts. I have competed in the 16u Babe Ruth Softball World Series twice (2008 and 2010.) I have not narrowed down my major quite yet. I am open to any type of school, big or small. I am an honors student so I would like to attend a school that will be a challenge for me academically and athletically. I played baseball when I was younger and when I switched to softball, I knew right away that I wanted to play at the collegiate level. Although I have only been playing softball since I was 12, I have fallen in love with the game of softball during that short period of time.
