Ayanna Okimosh '26 Recruiting Profile

Softball isn’t just a game of how well you can throw and hit a ball to me. It has taught me so much about not only myself but the values that I need to have as an adult. It’s taught me to be resilient, hardworking, and how to build relationships that can last a lifetime. My name is Ayanna O’Kimosh and I’m a 5’5 catcher/ middle infielder. I’m currently a sophomore in high school and will graduate with the class of 2026. I’ve been playing the game of softball for almost 9 years and still continue to work and get better at my craft each day. I‘m now starting my third year of club softball at Impact Sports Academy in De Pere, WI. Joining this team has made me work harder and push myself to be a better player and teammate and has also taught me what I need to work on to compete at higher levels of softball. Whether that is practicing with my team, off season training, or working on my own. Not only have I worked to be successful athletically, I also strive to be excellent academically. I’ve maintained a gpa of 3.9 and higher throughout my two years of High school and I continue to maintain the value that school always comes before sports as I enter my junior year. As I am looking to continue my studies at the collegiate level, i’m interested in getting my undergraduate degree in exercise science and biology in order to work my way up to becoming a physical therapist.
