All-American Status: McKinney Tabbed NFCA All-American

Wichita State softball's 2021 campaign recorded another first. Sophomore shortstop Sydney McKinney was named a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Third Team All-American Wednesday, becoming the first Shocker in program history to earn All-America honors.
The Norborne, Mo., native broke the Wichita State single season record for hits (87) and batting average (.439) in 2021. Her 87 hits ranked second nationally, while her .439 average ranked No. 23 and led the American Athletic Conference. Considered one of the toughest to strikeout at the plate, McKinney struck out only four times this season in 198 at bats.
She started all 55 games for Wichita State and added seven home runs, 10 doubles, 56 runs and 31 RBI. Her 56 runs scored rank second on the single season charts at Wichita State.
McKinney also completed one of the best league offensive seasons in American Athletic Conference history, narrowly missing The American single-season record with a .529 batting average in 24 starts. She did establish top all-time conference marks for hits (46), runs scored (34) and total bases (67) in league matchups. McKinney safely reached base in her first 23 conference games played during the regular season, finishing the league slate with 17 multi-hit outings.
