Cailyn Richner '26 Recruiting Profile

I have tried many different sports from a young age, but softball was one that really struck my heart. I've been playing softball ever since I was 6. I've worked hard to get to the place where I am today. From Montgomery Little League, to starting on the Valley Central High School JV team, to joining the OC Bomber 16U travel team, I have improved tremendously. As for my position, I truly enjoy being an outfielder. Many players don't understand the importance of the outfield, which makes me stand out from other recuits. My collegiate goals revolve around excelling both academically and athletically. Academically, I maintain a strong academic record, demonstrating my ability to balance sports and studies effectively. On the athletic front, my agility and speed give me a competitive edge. I aim to contribute to a team that values hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship. I believe I am a strong candidate for your team because of my commitment to continuous improvement. My work ethic, coachability, and passion for the sport set me apart as a dedicated and driven individual. In terms of character, I pride myself on my integrity and ability to work well with others. Additionally, I am resilient in the face of challenges and always strive to learn from setbacks, using them as opportunities for growth. I am not just looking to be a part of a team; I am looking to be a part of a family.
