FALCON ATHLETICS For t Wor th Country Day Athletic Wrap-up Summer 2017
Summer Super Stars! This summer, several of FWCD’s student-athletes traveled with their teams outside of school to further develop their skills and stay fresh for the upcoming 2017-18 sports season. Read about their accolades below.
CJ Landrum ’18, Softball I spent this past summer traveling and playing softball in Texas, Colorado, Arizona and California. I was also selected to play in the Colorado Fireworks “Future Stars TV Blue and Red Game.” Fifty of the top athletes from around the country were chosen to play in the televised game. I was thrilled because my family had an opportunity to see me play on ESPN! Our team, “Team Blue,” won the game 2610! Last year, I won the Colorado Fireworks “Fastest at the Fourth Competition” and was invited back this year to defend my title, and I won again! So now, I am the only back-to-back winner, and I won T-shirts for my entire team. Finally, I wrapped up the summer trying out for the “Scrapyard International” 18U softball team. I am thrilled to say that I was one of 17 girls selected and will be playing with my classmate and school teammate, Samantha Burke’ 18. This will be a fantastic opportunity and a great way to end my select/travel ball career because we will also be playing in Japan, Canada and possibly Malta.
Kathleen Clum ’18, Softball It was another exciting summer traveling across the country to play softball with my Texas Glory team. We played in California, Colorado and Atlanta, as well as in some local events. The summer was a success for both the team and for me, as we placed ninth in both the Colorado Sparkler and Atlanta Legacy Tournaments. In between, I was able to mix in a theatre leadership camp in New York City. Later this fall, I will be traveling to Providence, Rhode Island, for my official visit at Brown University. I am looking forward to meeting the other four girls that will be joining me in the Class of ’22!
Samantha Burke ’18, Softball I had an extremely busy and fun summer packed full with softball. We were never home for more than a week at a time due to all of the tournaments scattered across the country. We basically lived at the fields, as some days we were there for a total of 19 hours. Some of the most exciting and competitive tournaments we played in took
