2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a softball player that has started on varsity for two years. During my freshman year, I received the 2nd team in the Big Northern Conference. During my sophomore year, I received the 1st team in the BNC, and in the Illinois Valley All-Area Team. In travel ball this past summer, I earned four MVPs. I am a three-sport athlete. Being a team leader has made me a captain five times in my three years of high school. I was chosen to be the Varsity Softball Captain this year. I have a 3.81 GPA and was nominated and chosen for the National Honor Society. I may not be 100% certain about my degree but I would like to pursue a University with an outstanding academic and athletic environment that will challenge me in the classroom and out on the field. I strongly feel that my athletics and personality will have a positive impact on a team. My hard work and dedication to strive for my goals to pursue a DI, DII, or an NAIA level while still being interested in DIII.
Thank you,
Jenna O'Donnell (class of 2021)
