Liliana Vasquez '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Liliana Vasquez and I am a 5'2 utility player. I aspire to play softball at the collegiate level. I started playing softball when I was ten years old. I quickly fell in love with the game, but it was not until I turned 12 years old  that I wanted to pursue playing the game beyond my high school years. However, my first lesson in softball and a true testament of how much I love the game. From this experience I learned to be tough, resilient, and how to overcome obstacles. I have become dedicated to the game year-round in all aspects of softball, hitting, fielding, and base running. I am very focused on my goals and have worked hard to understand the game, getting me to where I am today. 

In addition to softball, academics are also of high importance to me. I want to attend a college that will challenge/ me academically as well as one that helps me down a path to pursue a promising career. Soon after entering elementary school, I was identified as gifted, and placed into a special program that enhanced my learning to set me up for further academic accolades. In high school, I am enrolled in honors and advanced classes with a 3.1 GPA and maintain straight A's & B’s . School has taught me important lessons that can also be applied to softball, such as working hard, helping others, and being mentally tough. In both school and softball, I am highly competitive to be at the top of my class and level of skill. I am not only a strong academic candidate, competitive, and a team player, that will no doubt add value to your school.
