When Reagan was in 8th grade, she announced her commitment to her dream school, Ohio State University. There she will continue her softball and academic career. Ohio State has a fantastic softball team. Their record so far this year is 24-12, and in the conference, they are 8-3. Adding Reagan to their future team was a great move on coach Kelly Kovach Schonely’s part.

Aside from the athletics, Reagan is a star student.  Her GPA is 4.1. She also has just been recently inducted into National Honors Society. Reagan participates in the club PACS as well.

This week, Reagan hit two home runs in an 18-17 win against Canon-Mac on Monday, April 8. She also hit an in-the-park home run against Brashear in an 18-3 win on Wednesday, April 10.
