Next Level U Statement
My name is Addison Gerelus, and my goal is to study Health Science in a four-year program while competing at the highest level of softball. In the classroom, I’ve built a strong academic foundation with a high 90’s average, and I’m committed to carrying that same discipline into my university studies. On the field, I pride myself on being a loud, knowledgeable, and encouraging leader who brings energy, focus, and resilience every game. I work hard to keep improving and to lift up the people around me, because I believe success comes from the whole team. As a student-athlete, I want to challenge myself, grow every day, and make a positive impact both on and off the field.
