Rachel Sangston '17 Recruiting Profile

     I am 17years old and a junior in high school.  I am 5’6 and weigh 130lbs.  I have been playing softball since I was 6 years old.  I began pitching at 7 years old.  I began taking private lessons with a pitching coach at the age of 7, and continue to do so to this day.  I have played travel ball since the age of 9.  I have played for the Seneca Storm 10U, Morris Rowdie Katz 12U, Wiers Academy Lady Warriors 12U, 14U, Romeoville Starzz 16UA,  and currently for the 16UA Illinois Irish in 2016. I am in the pitching rotation or play outfield when not in the circle.  I currently throw a fast ball,  change-up, drop ball, curve, and screwball.   Achievement wise, I have thrown in many semi-final and championship games in travel ball, both USSSA and ASA.  I anchor my high school varsity squad, Seneca Lady Irish,  in the circle the past 3 seasons. I understand that I still have a lot of work ahead of me, and strive to do the best I can through hard work, repetition, and being coached. I also play high school volleyball.   I want to be a physical therapist.  I do not have any school preference, large, or small. I would like to stay in the Midwest, but I am completely open. I am looking for a school that will provide the right balance between academics and athletics.  I have 2 younger brothers, my dad is a police captain, and my mom is a doctor of audiology.  They have taught me that acheivement comes by way of hard work, determination, and the greatest glory is not never falling, but rising from the fall.
