Carissa Weld '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'8 utility/pitcher from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I graduate in the year 2025 and play on the varsity team at Richland High school.  I started playing softball when I was 10. Softball has been a big part of my life, and it made me into the person I am today. I love softball because I meet great people that push me to do better, without them I would not be where I am today.

I am looking for a college that will support me academically as well as on the field.   I want to attend a college that will challenge me academically as well as one that helps me down a path to pursue a promising career. The editing and coaching fields interest me and I would like to make that my focus for choosing a major. Financial need will play a large role in what college I will attend. I am willing to travel further distances depending on the expense. I would also prefer to play for a school where my skills can be utilized early in my college career versus a popular school where it may take a couple of years to get on the field.

 I consider myself a true student of the game. I promote and understand a team that works as one, will be hard to beat. You will not only be recruiting an elite athlete, but you will also be recruiting an elite student that will represent your team and university well in all aspects!
