 Who is Cailey Oldemeyer
Hi everyone! My name is Cailey Oldemeyer and I am a freshmen outfield/infielder at Washburn. I plan to major in Health Sciences and get an Associate’s Degree in Radiologic Technology. When I first got to Washburn I had no idea what I wanted to major in, but then after almost completing a year here and after doing some research, I knew that I wanted to be able to get a job somewhere in the health field because I love to help others who are in need.

Life in the mountains
I am from Parker, Colorado and I have two brothers. Their names are Carson and Connor and we are triplets! Carson attends college at Colorado State University, and Connor has decided to take a semester off of school and start working. Being back home with them is for the most part fun, but it is a struggle sometimes because we were all so used to living our own separate lives back at school. However, I wouldn't trade the extra time I get to be home with them for anything. We have always been so close.

Memories and Life Lessons
This past season had taught me a lot about what being a team and what being part of a big family was like. Even though we couldn't finish up our season I think our team has grown even closer due to the fact that we all now know to never take an opportunity for granted. I miss every single one of my teammates dearly and I miss seeing everyone smile and come together as one on the softball field. I will forever remember my freshmen year and the memories I made with these girls. Before we know it we will all be back together. Through these hard times, I hope everyone is finding healthy ways to cope with stress and finding new ways to entertain themselves at home. I am beyond excited to see what next season brings and I can’t wait to get back to work with an even stronger team than before. GO BODS!

May 10, 2020 Meet Jenna Moore: Hello, my name is Jenna Moore and I am a freshman infielder. I have lived in Topeka my entire life. I am majoring in Accounting and thinking about double majoring in management. I recently switched to accounting because I have always liked business. I took some business classes in high school and accounting was one of my favorites. Life Changes: I have struggled with trying to stick to a schedule after everything was cancelled. Luckily, I figured it out fairly quickly. My dad owns Hoyt’s Truck Center which is an essential business. I was able to work there filing papers and helping organize anything they needed. I have also started cooking more for me and my parents. I used a pressure cooker for the first time and it was a little intimidating but I got it figured out. Spending more time with my parents has also been fun because I did not come home that much while I was living in the campus dorms. Missing Washburn: During this time, ...

May 15, 2020 Meet Autymn Schreiner: My name is Autymn Schreiner and I am an incoming freshman utility player from Maple Hill, Kansas. I attended Wabaunsee High School and have recently just finished my last semester online. In high school, I was involved in twelve different clubs and sports including softball. I have been playing softball ever since I could hold a bat. In high school, I was a four-year starter and letter winner and helped lead the team to be the 2018 2-1A State Champions.  Why Washburn? When choosing a college I was really looking for a home away from home and as soon as I stepped on Washburn’s campus, I knew I had found the right place. I came from a small high school so I enjoy Washburn for its smaller class sizes. It was also hard for me not to fall in love with Washburn because of their amazing facilities.  Playing college softball: I have always had the dream of playing softball at the collegiate level. After committing to Washburn, I...

May 13, 2020 Meet Skylar Darnell: My name is Skylar Darnell and I will be an incoming transfer from Cowley County Community College. I was born in Jacksonville, NC, but raised in Mulvane, KS. I am a catcher/outfielder. At Cowley my freshman year I received 2 nd team, All Conference honors at catcher. Recently, I just graduated from Cowley County with my Associate of Arts degree. At Washburn I will continue my studies in Accounting. Trying to find a new normal: This time off was a struggle for me at first. I’m a super outgoing person, so being around my teammates or having something to do all day was a fit for me. When everything was cancelled, I was very lost on what to do with my time. Luckily, I found a full-time job to keep myself busy. If I am not working, I am usually working out or meal prepping. Things I have learned: During this time off I’ve learned a lot about myself. I have tried to focus on becoming a better ‘me’, physically and mentally. I’ve been...
