Emmalee Kraabel

I am beyond excited and grateful to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Spring Arbor University! I want to thank the people who have made this dream possible. First and foremost, I want to give a huge thank you to my parents. Mom and Dad, your endless sacrifices, driving, and constant belief in me mean everything. I would not be where I am today without you. A special thank you to my brother Brody, my grandparents and the rest of my family and friends for always being in my corner, cheering me on, and supporting me every step of the way—I am so lucky to have you all! To all of my coaches over the years who have pushed me to grow both on and off the field, thank you for shaping me into the player and person I am today. A huge thank you to Coach Lesko, Coach Sara, and Coach Kar for your guidance and support this year so far. Of course, Mom, thank you for not only being my mom, but for being my coach for so many years and guiding my softball journey from the very beginning. Finally, a big thank you to Coach Deb and Coach Emmalee for giving me this amazing opportunity. I am so excited for this next chapter! Go Cougars!! 💛💙 @SAUCougarsSB
