Addison Barnard Named AAC Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year
Addison Barnard can add another "first" to her resume. Barnard has been named the 2023-24 American Athletic Conference Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, it was announced by the league Wednesday morning.
She is the first Shocker softball student-athlete to earn scholar-athlete of the year honors since Wichita State joined The American in 2017. The Faculty Athletic Representatives (FARs) annually select 22 student-athletes (10 males, 12 females), one from each American sponsored sport, who will receive a post-graduate, post-eligibility financial scholarship of $2,000 and a trophy.
Last month Barnard was named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America Second Team, becoming the first Shocker to repeat as an Academic All-American. She was a First Team selection in 2022. She graduated in May with a degree in health science and a cumulative GPA of 3.82.
Barnard has been named to the American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team every year and the Athletic Director's Honor Roll every semester.
She recorded her third season of 20 or more home runs in 2024, finishing with 93 in her storied career. Her 93 career homers rank fifth all time in NCAA history. She became the first player in NCAA history with 90+ home runs and 60+ stolen bases, earning All-America honors three of her four seasons at Wichita State.
Addie indeed casts a very large and all-encompassing shadow although I am sure no one is prouder of her than her sister Avery. Well, maybe Mom and Dad. I don't blame Avery one bit for trying to go somewhere she can more easily set her own course and not have to try to be her sister.
Addie's Shocker Bio is about as good as it gets: https://goshockers.com/sports/softba...n-barnard/7558
I wonder what Addie's numbers would have been if she had not had to play her Junior year with an injury that required off-season surgery.
When do you think the Shocks will retire #25 and #30?Last edited by 1972Shocker; July 10, 2024, 02:29 PM.
