Makenna Oswalt '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been involved in organized sports since I was 5 years old.  I quickly fell in love with softball and began playing travel by age 8.  Over the years I have played all positions; but, have found my "home" in center field (which is the position I currently play in both high school and travel ball).   I am acrobatic in this position and live for the "diving catch" that seems impossible.  I am athletic, driven, and competitive.  I have played with my current travel team for six years.  We have become a family through wins and losses, highs and lows.  Building a relationship like this with a team is essential for success.  We celebrate our victories as a team, but also come together after losses to learn, grow, and support one another.

Besides softball, I also play high school volleyball (also travel), swimming, and track.  I love to stay active and involved in activities both in and out of school.   I also dance, am involved in church activities, and work part-time.  I find that having a full schedule keeps me organized and helps me better manage my time.  After high school, I hope to continue my softball career in college while majoring in an animal sciences field such as Zoology or Wildlife Biology.
