McKenzie Dufner '19 Recruiting Profile

    Hi, I'm McKenzie Dufner! I am currently 16 years old, and I'm from Cold Spring Minnesota. My love for the game increased when I started to pitch.  Although I was young and impatient, over the years I saw my passion grow as my ability did.  Through softball, I have learned I am a very competitive person.  I also learned a big deal of patience, because the teams that I played for were at a different skill ability.  One of the biggest things I've adapted throughout my years in softball, is confidence in my self against challenges I didn't think I would be able to do.    My academic goals for high school is to maintain or raise my 3.8+ GPA.  I will also work hard to stay an active member in the National Honor Society. In the future, I would be extremely thankful to play college softball while being able to go to school for my dream job, which is being a Pediatric Oncologist.  What makes me different from other recruits is my love for the game, my drive to be successful, and my passion for my future.
