Margaret Truelove '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing softball at the age of nine and ever since I first stepped foot on the field I knew it was going to play an important role in my life. Starting with city league ball and slowly progressing to local tournament teams helped to increase my competitiveness and fueled my desire to play beyond high school. Softball has taught me how to work hard in order to get things done correctly and efficiently.  This work ethic has parlayed into my academics where I am currently working hard to maintain a high GPA so that I can remain number one in my class and graduate as valedictorian. My goal is not only to play softball at the collegiate level, but to also receive a quality education that will lead me to be successful after college. I plan to major in pre-med and hopefully become a Physicians Assistant. Although practices and games can be tough at times, the adversity has helped me develop the skills I have as a middle infielder and lead off hitter. I am a vocal player and I strive to promote positive encouragement not only to help myself but to lift my teammates up as well. In college I plan to continue to work hard so that I can contribute in a dynamic way on the field while continuing to be a positive influence on my team.
