This week, our 1590 WAKR Student Athlete of the Week is senior softball player Jenna Williams from Manchester High School.

Williams says she enjoys her time with her coaching staff and teammates, saying they have a close bond both on and off the diamond.

"I wouldn't trade them for the world," Williams says. "You really develop close bonds with the coaches and with the girls.”

"It's just a great time every day," Jenna says. "They [her teammates] become your best friends during the season."

Williams says time management is the key to maintaining good grades in the classroom and sustained success on the field. She says her organizational skills help her with juggling the day-to-day balance of studies and sports.

She enjoys the game, and has played from a young age. As a pitcher for the Lady Panthers, she says working on her craft and practicing is key for good performances come gametime.

Williams is a two-sport athlete for the Panthers, playing volleyball in the fall and softball in the spring.

She plans on attending Stark State College after graduation and will either major in physical therapy or business marketing.
