Sierra Ejercito

My name is Sierra Ejercito and I am a slap hitting outfielder looking forward to continuing playing softball in college. I just finished my sophomore year at Verona Area High School (Verona, WI) where I earned 1st Team All-Conference for outfield for a second year in a row. I also play on a travel softball team year-round with the Wisconsin Outlawz 16U Gold team based out of Deerfield, WI.

As a slap hitter, I enjoy the mental aspect and I’m always looking for openings in the defense, just like a game of chess. My strongest attribute as a player is my speed - I had set the record (at the time) for the Showtime Sports Fastpitch Softball Showcase in the 20 yard dash (2.65 seconds). I also use my speed in the outfield where I can play any outfield spot and chase down fly balls.

Softball aside, I am looking for a school with strong academic opportunities. My current GPA is 3.98. I passed my first AP test in Mandarin Chinese as a freshman last year and I just completed 3 other AP classes/tests recently. I am not afraid to challenge myself in the classroom. For my junior and senior years, I am signed up for a new STEM program at my school where I will receive dual high school and college credits while attending classes at a local community college. I'm not sure what field I want to go into yet, but I am interested in engineering, computer science, and digital art. Besides softball, I have many other interests. I've played the violin since I was 4 years old and had earned a spot in the Wisconsin Middle Level Honors Orchestra. I will also spend my summer working as an umpire for several local softball youth leagues, working as a lifeguard at our neighborhood pool, attending a violin music camp, and traveling with my family.

Overall, I am looking for a school that both offers me an excellent education and has a softball team that is competitive but also has a great team bond. I have always been a very determined person. If I set my mind to achieving something, I always strive to do whatever it is as well as I can, and I hope to continue this through my college career.
