Columbia second baseman Whitney Lee had her senior season cut short not only by covid-19 but also by an ACL injury she suffered in the preseason.
School: Columbia
Sport: Softball, 4-year varsity member
Position: 2B/P
Senior Salute: “My senior year in the preseason, I was playing second base and we had a first-and-third play going on so I go for a cut-off and the runner in a rundown between third and home ends up falling and I had to be carried off the field in pain and thinking to myself nothing is wrong. And then later I found out I had a complete tear of my ACL and would be out for the rest of the season. This was a very hard time for me but I was glad I still could watch all my girls play even though our season got cut short.”
Looking ahead: Plans to attend college but isn’t sure which one yet.
