Sofia Anderson '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a senior at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, VA and completed my third year as a Varsity starter for the Division 1, Virginia State Champion team this past spring. We were ranked number one in the state of Virginia in 2022 and 2023 and are the 2023 VISAA and WCAC Champions. I am particularly proud that I got voted most outstanding player by my teammates in 2022. This year our record was 21-0 and we are ranked #12 in the nation by Max Preps.

I figure skate, do ballet and am a Girl Scout. In addition, I play the flute and was awarded a music scholarship. I carry a heavy load of Honors and Advanced Placement Courses, am dual-enrolled with Marymount University and recently completed a 3-credit Animal Science course at Cornell University. I  have made Distinguished Honors recognition for the past two and a half years. I had a 4.54 GPA in my Sophomore year. My GPA for this 2022-23 year is 4.80. I was also inducted into the National Spanish Honor Society, National Math Honor Society, National Science Honor Society and the National Honor Society.

I am a competitor. I believe in doing the best I can in everything I do. I have a strong work ethic, am highly organized and able to juggle multiple things. I set high goals for myself.

Since I first started playing softball, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I’ve always been one of the fastest players on the team and usually lead my team in BA and OBP. I am a team player and will do whatever is needed to help the team and my teammates succeed. 

I want to attend a university where I can continue to push myself in the classroom and on the softball field. I strive to be a role model, leader and contributor to society and to my community.
