Samantha James-witteveen '20 Recruiting Profile

Academically, I am an A/B student in my sophomore year of high school. I have received the scholar athlete award this past spring for my grades and overall performance on the varsity softball team as a freshman. I put a lot of time and effort into being the best catcher possible for my team. I have spent a lot of time in the gym weightlifting, working on drills and working with team members in the off season. I don't like to lose and push myself and my teammates to work harder to become better.  I am looking to attend college to play ball and to obtain a degree in agriculture or science.  I have lived on a farm my entire life and have farming in my blood. I believe  farming and 4-H have greatly improved my work ethic, responsibility, integrity, and being a teammate/coworker.

I participate in weightlifting three times a week with the football team at 6 am before school.  As of 5/12/18 my bench press is 115 lbs, power clean is 115 lbs and squat is 270 lbs. I have made our 500 lb club at Hart High School.
