Team
Wilson has been playing softball since she was eight and plays left fielder and lead-off hitter.
"The biggest growth in the team was learning how to communicate with everyone on the field and become a better team," Wilson said.
Communication is an important part of team sports, and improvement in this aspect is vital in ensuring softball’s success. Another aspect of communication is team bonding and camaraderie. One way that the softball team has bonded was to go out after games.
"My favorite memory this season is going In-N-Out after the games. It is a fun way to get to know some of your teammates better," Wilson said.
