Lady Roadrunners honored for academic success

SEDALIA, Mo. — The State Fair Community College Lady Roadrunners softball team has earned recognition for its success in the classroom during the 2024–25 academic year. Fourteen student-athletes received Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

The honorees are Ally Burk of Mount Vernon; Emily Burke of Cole Camp; Elana Clark of Maysville; Jordan Crooks of Leeton; Natalie Crumpler of Exeter; Anna Davis of Friedheim; Courtney Dehn of Dearborn; Zoe Donahue of Mountain Home, Arkansas; Jenna Herald of Monett; Myla Inman of Washington; Valerie Meyer of Hughesville; Danika Sickle of Grain Valley; Kiara Sodini of Lee's Summit; and Malory Wince of Dadeville.

To be eligible for the award, student-athletes had to maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or higher for the entire academic year.

SFCC finished the year with a team GPA of 3.59.

"It is important that our student-athletes set themselves up for success when they are moving on from SFCC," said Head Coach Michele Rupard. "Whether it is to a professional program, a four-year college or university to continue playing softball, or just to continue their education, they understand that academics are very important and can help you get where you want to go. I am super proud of this group and happy they are being recognized."
