Lenexa Native Wilson Signs With PSU Softball

     PITTSBURG -- Pittsburg State University head softball coach Brad Horky announced today (June 25) that Jenanne Wilson has signed a national letter of intent to join the Gorillas for the 2008 season.
     Wilson, a 5-foot-9 outfielder, will have junior eligibility for Pitt State next spring, after completing two seasons at Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City, Kan.
    The Lenexa, Kan., native earned first-team All-Jayhawk Conference and first-team All-Region honors as a sophomore in 2007, batting .402 with three home runs and 28 RBIs. She helped the Tigers to a 46-9 record finishing as the regional runner-up to eventual NJCAA Division II national runner-up Johnson County Community College. Wilson also was an All-League pitcher during her prep years at Bishop Miege High School.
    “The depth in our outfield has been greatly improved with the signing of Jenanne Wilson,” Horky said. “She was an All-Region performer for Cowley County Community College, helping them to a high national ranking all season. We look forward to her helping us both offensively and defensively as she batted over .400 in her sophomore campaign. We also are looking for her to help in a leadership role to go along with our six returning sophomores.”
    Wilson is the fourth player to sign with Pitt State for the 2008 season. Sonya Beach, a 5-foot-7 pitcher/utility player from Bixby (Okla.) High School, Haley Deaton, a 5-foot-9 shortstop from Grove (Okla.) High School, and Alycia Fivecoats, a 5-foot-6 outfielder from Bixby High School, all signed with the Gorillas during the early period in November.
