Nine members of the North Platte Community College Knights Softball Team have been selected as Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar Athletes.
They are: Juliana Ortiz and Ellie Toelle, of North Platte; Elena Montoya, of Denver, Colo.; Kelsey Woodhouse, of Duchesne, Utah; Nancy Martinez, of San Antonio, Texas; Angelina Lockhart and Esper Lewandowski, of Anchorage, Alaska; April Grace, of Kamuela, Hawaii; and Jenelle Gudjonson, of Victoria, British Columbia.
“Our program strives to work as hard in the classroom as in the community and on the softball diamond, and having nine players recognized for academic achievement reflects that,” said NPCC Softball Head Coach Janelle Higgins. “I’m very proud of our athletes.”
The Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete program recognizes student-athletes who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale. The GPAs taken into account for the current award cycle were from the 2022-23 academic year.
