“Leslie is one of the hardest working athletes that we have ever come through our program. With the work she has done this summer and what she is working on currently improving, she will have great success this season. We look for her to round out the senior class this year and push us over the top. It has been a tremendous pleasure these past three years having her in our program. She will truly be missed when she graduates. She is a true Wildcat.”
