Mariah Ortega '25 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my life, I have been fortunate enough to have had wonderful experiences both personally and as a student athlete.  I attribute all of my successes to having a strong family support system and dedicated and caring coaches in all of my sports.  My love of softball blossomed when I would watch my older sister play, I began playing at the T-ball level and grew in the sport through our town program.  I dedicated 10 years of my youth to being a dual sport athlete participating in both Travel Softball as well as Competitive Cheer.   Entering my high school career I made a personal choice to dedicate myself solely to one sport. I maintained steadfast and focused to be on the Varsity Team and I prevailed, Juggling academics and sports is definitely not an easy task but I have risen to the occasion and I manage to do both  while maintaining high Academics and Honors.  I am a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society .  My drive to be the best version of myself personally, athletically and academically is what helps me to succeed in all I do.

I am thankful to my family, my coaches, teammates, past and present and all of the invaluable people in my life.
