Our Trophy Case. Carrie Fix.

With the end of summer, many students are heading off to college and moving into a new chapter of their lives.  One of these students is Carrie Fix.  She isn’t just a student; she is a hard-working student-athlete.  

Carrie is hoping to take her
achievements in high school and build upon her goals while playing softball at Messiah.  As a four year varsity starter at York Catholic High, Carrie knows the kind of hard work it takes to play at higher levels.  She was the starting pitcher her junior and senior years, recording 120 strikeouts and only giving up nine walks in the 63 innings she pitched as a senior.  Her hard work didn’t only show on the mound; she helped her team on offense with a .737 batting average and 25 RBIs.  Her great work ethic was recognized with three different honors during her high school career:  Carrie was named Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year for YAIAA Division IV, selected to the 2013 PSCA Class AA All-State second team, and received a 2014 Distinguished Achievement Award.

Carrie’s ability to work hard was first recognized by her travel coaches.  She started playing with the PA Ball Hawks 10 years ago and was one of the team leaders every year because she was always so willing to work to be at her best.  This was proven with a .500 batting average and a 94% fielding percentage for the 2013 season.

Carrie will be a fresh welcome to the Falcons and hopefully a positive influence on the rest of the team to work at their games until they are at their best.  Good luck this season, Carrie!  Keep working towards your goals!
