She’s mixing things up.
As she went through middle school, Karyme Castro tried a bit of everything, playing volleyball, basketball, and little league softball.
Now, as she moves up a rung and enters Coupeville High School as a freshman this fall, the hard-working young woman is shifting gears.
While she plans to stay with softball, she’s dropping volleyball and basketball in favor of joining the Wolf cheer squad.
Castro, who wants “to get a home run” at some point in her diamond career, was part of a Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball team which went 13-1 this spring.
The thrill of launching a ball off her bat helps makes the sport her favorite.
“I really like softball, because I think batting is really fun,” Castro said. “I like the excitement of the games and the way they cheer for you.”
She wants to “work on my running,” and enjoys a busy life outside the sports world.
Castro picks wood shop as her favorite class, loves the movie Finding Dory, and looks forward to baking in the kitchen and hanging out with friends.
Ask her to pick who has the biggest influence on her life, and it’s an easy selection for the young Wolf.
“My mom and dad,” Castro said. “Because they always say you can do whatever you want, and we will be here to support you in any sport and anything.”
