Lucy Perry

I’m incredibly blessed and excited to announce that I will be continuing both my academic and athletic career at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana.   First, I want to thank my parents for the endless sacrifices they have made to help me reach my goals. I also want to thank my little sister, Violet, for spending countless hours at the fields watching me play and for being the biggest supporter I could ever ask for.   To all of the coaches and supporters I have met along the way, thank you for pushing me to become the best athlete and person I can be.   A special thank you to the late Coach Mike Olson, who I miss every day; Coach Duke with the Firecrackers, for a summer I will never forget; Coach Deann with Armor Elite, for all the work she puts in both on the field and behind the scenes to set us up for so much success; Zach Dirr, for getting up at 5:00 a.m. to put me through brutal workouts; Coach Kimmie Kuehr, for being my first hitting coach, spending her weekends coaching my old powerhouse team, and still taking me for ice cream sometimes; Coach Kraig Ireland, for being the first coach to believe in me; Coach Joe Boggs, for letting me play with his Mojo team and for continuing to support me even after I left; Coach Kevin LaRousa with TCS Team USA, for inviting me to Colorado to compete at the International Challenge; Cody Fowler, the only person who may have lost more sleep over my swing than I have; and Chad Fowler, who cares more about his players and former players than anyone I know.    Thank you all for being incredible role models and for helping shape me into who I am today.   Lastly, thank you to Coach Jordyn and her coaching staff for believing in me and giving me this amazing opportunity.  I am so thankful and so excited for what is ahead!   Go Belles! @CodyFowlerHit @ArmorEliteFox @larousa6 @RoncalliSball @SwinehartJordyn @Belles_Softball
