Katie Kish '15 Recruiting Profile

August 2013
September 2012Personal Statement
My biggest strengths are speed, strength and athleticism; below are some relevant stats.
Summer batting average = .421
High School batting average = .606
Home to 1st = 2.55 seconds (verified at Hillsdale College Camp)
Home to home = 11.15 (verified by UofM elite camp)
Over hand throw = 60 mph (verified by Paramount Scouting Bureau)
Vertical jump = 24.5 (verified by UofM elite camp)
My dream is to play softball at the highest collegiate level that I can at a strong academic institution. I am very dedicated and work very hard at everything I get involved in; academics and athletics are two very good examples where I will do whatever it takes to improve. I love to compete and try to combine my strong physical attributes with mental toughness to give me an edge. I believe I am a good leader and lead by example by working harder than anyone else. I have the gift of speed and have always been the fastest girl on any of my teams! I hold 8 track and field middle school records and love to use my speed to its fullest advantage. My short term high school goals are to continue working hard in the classroom to keep my 4.0, make all state in softball (received all region honors as a freshman), and win a state championship in basketball (my team was the state runner up in the last 2 seasons). My longer term goals are to attend college; get a great education, play softball, and make lasting friendships.
