Bio
Get to Know Jaeden...
When did you start playing softball?
-
I started playing tee ball around 4 or 5 years old then progressed into softball around like 7 years old.
What is your favorite softball memory?
- Winning state back to back years, all the traveling across the nation to play in different states, and hitting my grand slam sophomore year vs Houston
Why did you choose KU?
-
I chose KU because I wanted a school with history and culture. I also wanted a big sports school that had multiple successful programs on campus. For softball I chose KU because it is a program that continuously gets better every year, I wanted to be a part of the team that takes the program to the next level. As for coaches, Coach McFalls instantly treated me as one of her daughters from the day I met her. I could tell that even though this is her job and a business, she truly does care about the players and wants to personally know us as people, not just athletes.
