2010 SOFTBALL SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Newark, DE – June 16, 2010 – The McKenzie Travis Educational Foundation is proud to announce the 2010 winners of the McKenzie Travis College Softball Scholarship Fund.

The McKenzie Travis Scholarship Fund, established by John and Jody Travis in the memory of their daughter McKenzie who was killed in a car accident in 2006, provides financial assistance to college and college–bound female softball players throughout the nation.

The 2010 scholarship winners are: Danielle Griffin, Samantha Gross and Heidi Wilson from Delaware; Kali Ball, Kimberly Begley, Kaitlyn Bobbitt and Leanda Helms from Pennsylvania; Nicole Chabak, Carly Chamberlain, Danielle DeFeo, Morgan Earling, Emma Erbig and Amanda Lenarski from New Jersey; Jaclyn Bates, Toni-Ann Canova, Christina Leader, Christine Lucido and Nicole Watson from New York; Caitlin Palmieri from Maryland and Kari Smith of Massachusetts.

Since its inception in 2006, when five scholarships were awarded, the METF has been able to increase annually the assistance it offers female athletes. This year’s fund was able to award 20 athletes $2,500 each in financial assistance.

In addition to being a member of a high school or college level softball team, scholarship eligibility requirements include a minimum cumulative 2.5 G.P.A., participation in the Delaware Invitational Tournament, and exceptional community/volunteer service.  A non-biased committee aids in the selection of the scholarship recipients and the ideal candidates are well-rounded, charismatic and compassionate.

The Hornets endured some extreme temperatures and played excellent softball.  They won the Gold bracket of the Delaware Invitational Tournament, July 2010.  The bracket they won represented the top two teams from each of the eight pool play brackets.  Ironically, they faced the Long Island Express again - having faced them at the Fall Invitational.  This time, however, the tables were turned and they won the championship game 2-1.

This year's tournament was dedicated to McKenzie Travis.   McKenzie was an avid softball player and fan, dedicated to helping others in the community.    The DITs and the McKenzie Travis Educational Foundation  raised thousands  in scholarship funds since its inception . Our own Caitlin Palmieri was awarded one of the scholarships this year.  

 Great work ladies !!
