Personal Statement
Hi, I’m Ella Yerkes, a 17 year old Senior at Bishop Blanchet High School (BBHS) in Seattle, WA. I will be graduating in the class of 2023. I have a cumulative 3.995 (unweighted) GPA. I am a LHP/1B and play for my high school team as a starter and play travel ball for ai Bandits – 16U Breer – Orange. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I had the opportunity to play for Team Israel in the TCS International Challenge. I also play Varsity Golf for BBHS.
My goal is to attend a college where I can continue to play high level softball and earn a degree from a high academic school. I love softball and I especially love the art of pitching. One of the most important things for me is to be part of a team with a coaching staff that will help me reach my highest potential. I love to learn in the classroom, and on the field, and embrace the challenge that the game provides.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I hope to hear from you soon.
