Jillian Shannon '22 Recruiting Profile

I am an upcoming junior at Skyline High School in Front Royal, VA.  I was the starting catcher as an 8th and 9th grader (catching every game) for my high school program while also holding the starting position on my 16U travel team, unfortunately because of the Corona Virus, my sophomore year softball program got shut down.  I have played travel ball several years and now I am the starting catcher for Tri State Thunder Gold 18U- Missy Cutchall.  I have a 1.67 pop time with an average of 76 as my bat exit speed.  I am a power hitter at the plate!

I also play basketball to keep in shape for softball.  I work out on a daily basis and I also work with a catching and hitting coach when I do not have  team practice.  I am a member of FASST Performance Sports Training in Winchester, VA where I work out with a trainer and also in groups to maximize my strengths and abiliities.  I work hard at school and maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher and I have a great attendance record.  I am outgoing and eager to continue to practice and work hard to pursue my goals of playing softball at the college level.  

I plan to pursue a career in Education when I enter college!
