2021 Slowpitch Players of the Week & SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

Click image for info on our Player of the Week and Senior Spotlights!

Player of Week #8: Audrey Barnholdt, Tball Team 2.<br>Audrey, who will be a Kindergartener at Scenic Heights in the fall, loves to run the bases and play pitcher. Besides Tball, she also is involved in dance and swimming. "The girls have been so great," said Ryan Barnholdt, Audrey's father who co-coaches the team with Dane Odden. "They show up every week with amazing energy, ready to play and have fun. They have grown so much as players. It's fun watching them get in a good rhythm out there. Dane and I are proud of them, and there have been so many parents helping out each week. All the kids have been so kind to the coaches and each other. They make it fun to be there with them. And I secretly love when Audrey sneaks over to give me a hug after running to first base or while she is rotating through drills." Great job coaches! It's been a fun season!

Player of Week #7: Frances Lindgren, High School Pet Stuff.<br>Fran, who will be a junior at Minnetonka High School in the fall, started playing in MGSA in 8th grade. Since then, she's recruited a handful of friends to play and is the consummate great teammate! She's also a standout shortstop and makes great contact with plenty of line drives. Fran's younger sisters also play softball: Vivian plays on the Whirl 14U team and Georgia plays on the 10U 1 Blue Bandits Slowpitch team. "I like playing slowpitch because of the really fun people and the great opportunity to play the game," Fran says. She also plays hockey and runs cross country and track, and participates in musical theater and choir programs. Her favorite subjects in school are history and English. "I have always loved to read and write so English is my happy place!" This summer, Fran will participate in 2 hockey programs and run cross country. "Gotta get 200 miles by August," she says. "And, of course, spend time with friends and family."

Player of Week #6: Lily Guerrera, 10U Engel & Volkers.<br>Lily, who will be a fifth grader at St. Therese Catholic School in the fall, is in her second year playing in MGSA. She has quickly developed into a strong all-around player and has helped lead her team to 5 wins in its last 7 games. Her favorite subjects in school are science, gym, music and reading, and she also participates in swimming, volleyball, robotics and downhill skiing. What does she like most about playing slowpitch? "Having fun with friends and learning how to pitch." What does this busy player have in store for the summer? Overnight camp, swimming, boating and biking with friends!

Player of Week #5: Neve Dunn, Machine Pitch 6 Purple Cheetahs.<br>A 1st grader at Minnewashta Elementary School, Neve loves to "play third base and get outs!" Besides softball, she also enjoys dance and swimming. The coach of Neve's team is her father, Michael. "I love watching the girls improve and gain confidence," he said. What area has he seen the most improvement this season? "Swing speed and great contact!" Keep swinging hard Neve and fellow Purple Cheetahs!

Player of Week #4: Elsie Erickson, 13U Team 2.<br>Elsie, a 7th grader at Maple Grove Middle School, is a newcomer to MGSA Slowpitch. She has stepped in to help lead her team to a winning record as a standout pitcher, fielder and hitter. She can do it all! Her favorite part of playing slowpitch is "making new friends." She also participates in basketball and dance, and enjoys theater and singing. Her favorite classes in school are English and Health. Why does she like playing in MGSA? "Everyone is really nice and it's a fun experience. I like that there are a lot of games." When asked who her favorite athlete is, Elsie responds: "All of my Neon Pickles teammates!"

Our second Senior Spotlight of the 2021 season is Nina Krueger of Event Lab! A longtime MGSA Slowpitch player, Nina is a great hitter, fielder and base runner, and always puts team first. It has been such a pleasure to have Nina in the program for 12 years and see her develop as a fun player to watch and an outstanding role model! She will be attending UW-Eau Claire in the fall.

Player of Week #3: Val Kelling, HS The Caribbean Marina.<br>A freshman at Minnetonka High School, Val is a standout infielder/outfielder, hits a lot of line drives with power, and is FAST. That should be no surprise, since she is one of 2 Caribbean freshmen who also sprint on the MHS Varsity Track & Field team! Val, who lists math and drama as her favorite subjects in school, is also involved in the Youth Development Council at MHS and loves the performing arts, especially dance. She started playing softball in Tball. "I love playing softball on this team and I really look forward to it during my week," she said. "I love the teams I've been on and spending time with my friends." As for her dream job, Val said it would involve plenty of travel.

Our first Senior Spotlight of the 2021 season is Jenna DeJong of Event Lab. She is definitely making a statement as a senior, hitting 3 home runs, including 2 walkoff homers to win games! Her 2 biggest fans are her parents, Bruce and Tracy. Jenna is also a veteran MGSA Youth Ump, and is a great leader in the umpire program and on her team. Way to go, Jenna!

Player of Week #2: Tess Venjohn, 13U Slowpitch Team 3.<br>A fantastic pitcher and all-around player, Tess is a 7th grader at Minnetonka Middle School East.
