Sarah Wright
She’s a star on, and off, the field.
Coupeville High School grad Sarah Wright, now a softball player at Tennessee’s Sewanee: The University of the South, was named to the 2020-2021 Southern Athletic Association’s Academic Honor Roll.
To qualify, athletes had to record a grade point average of 3.25 or higher.
Wright was one of 264 Tigers across 21 SAA-sponsored varsity sports to earn the honor.
Sewanee’s softball team set a program record, with 11 players landing on the honor roll.
Through two pandemic-altered seasons on the diamond, Wright has shown she can be as successful in college as she was in high school.
The former Wolf hit .407 during her sophomore campaign, collecting 11 hits, including two doubles, while driving in five runs.
Through 26 career games at Sewanee, Wright sits with a .309 batting average, 68 at-bats, 21 hits, including two home runs and two doubles, and 12 RBI.
She has walked nine times, come around to score six times, and anchored the Tigers with her quick glove and explosive throwing arm behind the plate.
