SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: SARAH SMITH

Sarah Smith | Pitcher

Hometown: Warner Robins, Ga. / Houston County HS

What is your favorite moment as a Highlander so far?
Completing my first game as a Highlander in the circle and getting the win.

What is something most people don't know about you?
My real first name is Sarah Savannah.

What made you want to attend Radford?
My dream was to play softball at the division one level. Radford made my dream come true by giving me the opportunity to play for the Highlanders.

What advice would you give to any future Highlanders?
Soak it all in. The people at Radford make the place, the place doesn't make the people. Never take anything for granted, because you blink and you are a senior about to graduate college and go into the real world and it feels like just yesterday you stepped on campus for the first time as a freshman in your dorm room.

Favorites…
Food? Wings and Pizza
Movie? Fast and Furious series
TV Show? All American
Color? Blue
Pet? Cooper (My dog)
Music? Country

How has your time at Radford affected you?
Radford has impacted my life so much in such a short period of time. Radford brought me teammates that have turned into friends, and friends that have turned into family with memories that will last a life time.

How did it feel to have the sport you love cut short this year?
This season being cut short felt like a bad dream, it just doesn't seem or feel real. My first thought was there is no way that this could be happening to us. This was our year to win it all. This team was something special and when it got cut short I felt paralyzed and like I lost my purpose. Softball is the only reason I went to school in the first place especially college and I just can't remember the last thing I did on my last game day as a Highlander. I was 600 miles from home and within 6 minutes of meeting my team I had found my second family.
