Wichita Southeast softball player, Paige Jacobs, was an all-league honorable mention pitcher, and she was only a sophomore.
Now a junior, Jacobs has been spending extra time on the field and in the weight room to prepare for the season.
Southeast head coach Aspen Salinas has been nothing but impressed with Jacobs, and her dedication to the sport and the team.
“Paige is an amazing athlete that shows up early to every practice and stays late every day getting reps in,” Salinas said.
While proving herself as a student and an athlete, Jacobs has really stepped into the leadership role. With two full seasons ahead of her, Jacobs is taking that guidance and initiative and putting it to good use.
“Paige is team Captain this season,” Salinas said. “She shows great leadership and works very hard on and off the field.”
