Charley Wheeler - Softball

Freshman Charley Wheeler of the Barton Community College softball team has been named the Week 3 Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC) Pitcher of the Week following her work in the circle during the Cougars' 1-1 week of competition.

The right-hander logged 11.2 innings across two appearances, compiling a 1.80 earned run average while allowing just three earned runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts. Wheeler did not surrender an extra-base hit during the week, limiting opposing hitters to singles and consistently keeping traffic manageable.

Wheeler first delivered a tough-luck outing against Northeast Oklahoma A&M, permitting just one earned run over 4.2 innings of work. She followed with a complete-game effort in Barton's 4-2 road victory over No. 18-ranked Seminole State College, scattering six hits and allowing two earned runs across seven innings to improve to 2-2 on the season.

The honor marks Wheeler's first conference recognition of her collegiate career and the first weekly distinction of the season for the Cougars.
