Brennan named All-America Scholar Athlete at Luther

Katie Brennan, a 2019 graduate of Kee High School in Lansing and a senior on the 2023 Luther College softball team, was recently honored for her work both on and off the field this season. The Lady Norse third baseman was one of seven players from this past season’s Luther softball team named All-America Scholar Athletes by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Tuesday, August 1.

To earn All-America Scholar Athlete honors, a player must have achieved a 3.5 grade point average (GPA) for the 2022-2023 academic year. The seven Lady Norse to achieve that honor headlined an overall team effort that ranked Luther 124th among all Division III softball teams with a 3.07 team GPA.

Brennan started all 43 games in her senior season with the Norse this spring. As this season’s starting third baseman, Brennan compiled 22 hits and successfully completed five of six stolen base attempts during the season. She graduated in May of this year with a degree in Business Management.
