Kaylynn Harmon’s breakout season continues to garner awards, this time of the regional variety.
The second baseman for the Fort Lewis College softball team was selected to the second team when the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced its All-South Central Region teams recently.
Harmon was picked as a second-team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference performer last week after a strong sophomore campaign. Harmon led the Skyhawks by finishing the regular season with a .439 batting average and 40 RBIs. She also homered three times, piled up a team-leading 50 hits, slugged .596, had a .950 fielding percentage and carried a .511 on-base percentage for Fort Lewis, which bowed out in the RMAC Tournament.
Colorado Mines pitcher Kelly Unkrich and UC-Colorado Springs outfielder Payton Kornfiend landed on the first team. Unkrich went 22-1 with a 0.82 earned-run average and 155 strikeouts for the Orediggers and also was tabbed RMAC Pitcher of the Year last week.
Kornfiend was fourth nationally and led the RMAC with a .520 batting average and also was the RMAC’s Freshman of the Year.
Colorado Christian outfielder Hannah Rapoport and Colorado Mesa utility player Jessica Severinsen joined Harmon on the second team. Rapoport was fourth in the league with a .410 batting average, drove in 23 runs and scored 35 times.
Severinsen hit .398 and homered 14 times while driving in 38 runs. She also won 19 games and carried a 2.29 ERA in the circle for the Mavericks.
