August 2019Personal Statement
Hi, I am Kelsey Palmer, I am currently in 11th grade at Jefferson High School maintaining a 4.1 GPA. I currently am starting on our varsity softball team as the left fielder and I currently bat 2nd in the lineup.
I currently play 18u softball for the Eastern Iowa Barracudas Gold.
Here is our current schedule for the fall of 2020:
Sept 19-20 USSSA Fall State, Des moines, IA
Oct 17-18 PGF Betcher Showcase, Bettendorf, IA
Oct 23-25 St. Louis Showcase
Nov 7-8 Scenic City showcase, Chatanooga, TN
I have been slapping for 4 years and I also hit away. I have a hard slap, soft slap, and a drag bunt. With my speed I am effective in moving base runners, getting on base, and hitting open holes in the field.
In addition to playing softball, I run in track and cross country.
