Ex-Lake City softball star Shippy

shares Big 12 Player of Year honor

Oklahoma State sophomore Vanessa Shippy was named Co-Big 12 softball Player of the Year on Tuesday.

She shared the honor with Oklahoma senior outfielder Erin Miller.

Shippy, who has played second base, center field and now catcher this season (and thus was listed as a utility player on the all-conference awards), is the second Cowgirl to receive the honor and the first since Lauren Bay in 2003.

She was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team.

The Lake City High graduate led the Big 12 with a .430 batting average, 55 runs scored and .545 on base percentage. She finished tied for third in the Big 12 with 71 hits, second with 39 walks and sixth with 14 doubles.

Warriors add state qualifier

Carlson from Lake City

LEWISTON — The Lewis-Clark State College track and field program announced the signing of Lake City High senior Alison Carlson.

Carlson placed at least third in six out of seven events she competed so far this season. Her personal best of 124 feet, 1 inch in the discus was set during the 5A Region 1 meet where she finished second, qualifying her for the state meet Friday and Saturday at Dona Larsen Park in Boise.

During her time at Lake City High, she earned four varsity letters, three in track and field and one in cheerleading, while also competing in volleyball and basketball.

“We believe Ali Carlson will be an asset to our program; she is a state ranked discus thrower with huge potential for continued growth and development,” L-C State assistant coach Stogy Sandahl said.
