Meet Marrit Mead
My name is Marrit Mead and I am an incoming freshman infielder from Overbrook, KS. I attended Santa Fe Trail High School and  just finished my last semester of high school. There I was a four-year starter for the softball program.  I also played volleyball, basketball, and competed in track.  I play travel softball for Top Gun Academy- Angels. I am incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to be a part of an organization with so much love for the game. I have the best coaches and teammates who have helped me become the player I am today. 

Why Washburn?
Washburn felt like home the minute I stepped on campus. The people are very welcoming. The campus is beautiful with improvements constantly being made.  Plus, the chance to play college ball so close to my home is a dream come true. I can't wait to be on Washburn's campus in August! I am so excited to get to know all my new teammates and coaches while playing the game I love.

Getting through this time:
During the corona virus outbreak, I have found many things to keep me busy. At the beginning of quarantine I kept myself busy with school work, workouts, painting, and walks with my dog. Now that we are able to be in groups while continuing to stay socially distant, I have been able to see some of my friends and family. I hope everyone stays safe and continues safety regulations so we can return to our normal lives. 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...
