IMPACT STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING AT A HIGH LEVEL By Duane McCoy

|
2011 was a banner year for the 503 IMPACT students. Not only did the travel teams' players achieve much success, especially those playing on the Xtreme 14 U teams, but over 40 of its high school players earned All-state, county, city, league, tournament and AGR awards. However, it was IMPACT's college players who shone brightly this past season. Fourteen of its graduates tried out for their college varsity teams and all 14 were selected to play and 10 started. IMPACT now has 12 girls now playing Division 1 and 2. Among those having a banner year were:
JESS HARMAN
Jess helped the Cortland Red Dragons to a fourth place finish in the Division 3 National Tournament. The junior softball shortstop was chosen to the District I All-Academic Softball second team
Harman entered the 2011 spring semester with a 3.90 grade point average. The kinesiology major started all 48 games the Red Dragons this past spring. A second-team all-region shortstop, she batted .362 with two homers, 12 doubles, 27 RBI, nine steals and a team-high 22 walks. Jess, a Penfield High graduate, was selected to the All-Tournament team. Jess is a 5 year IMPACT student.

AMANDA PRATT
SUNYIT junior Amanda Pratt (Rush-Henrietta) has received two awards for her excellence in both academics and athletics, as she has received the 2010-11 SUNY Chancellor's Scholar-Athlete Award while also being selected to the 2010-11 CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District College Division First Team. In addition to her excellence in the classroom, Pratt earned both honors for her accomplishments in softball after being selected to her second consecutive North Eastern Athletic Conference North Division All-Conference First Team. The 5-foot-5 outfielder had another tremendous season for the Lady Wildcats, batting .444 on the year with 40 hits, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored, 11 doubles, two home runs and a team-best three sacrifice flies while registering a .633 slugging percentage and a .485 on base percentage. Pratt, who posted a 13-game hitting streak this season, continued her climb through the softball program record books, as she is currently second all-time in career RBI, hits and doubles while being third all-time in career runs scored, tied for fourth all-time in career home runs, sixth all-time in career slugging percentage and seventh all-time in career batting average. Pratt, a criminal justice major who is also a member of the nationally-ranked SUNYIT women's bowling team, helped the Lady Wildcats to a 19-12 overall finish and their second straight appearance in the championship series of the double-elimination NEAC North Division Tournament. Amanda is a 3 year IMPACT student
LINDSAY STOWELL
Ganada's star graduate, hit it big time in Division 1 as the freshman was the leadoff hitter and starting right fielder for St. Bonaventure. She got off to a great start by hitting a homer in her first NCAA tournament in Hawaii. She was hitting over .400 part way through the season when she jammed a thumb. Although she could not hold the bat tightly, she continued to play and kept getting on base. While at Ganada, and in the summer for the Lady Lions, Lindsay won many awards.
