LSU softball signee Nicky Dawson of Parkview Baptist in Baton Rouge tied the NFHS career national record by collecting her 48th triple today. She also set the career runs scored record earlier this year and is closing in on the career steals and career hits record.
Nicky is the Louisiana DII 60 meter dash champion and a 1st team Max Preps preseason All American. Video of triple is below. Way to go Nicky!

She may be blessed athletically, but you can tell from the picture that she works her butt off.

A stand-up triple?!? Damn! She is faaaaasssstttttt.

I'm sure she works her tail off, but that girl was born like that. No amount of hard work will make you an elite sprinter with great hand/eye.
ETA: when is traction going to get into the IMG model?

She will make an instant impact next year. I expect her to start in the OF. She really could be one of the best lead offs here or she could hit in the two hole.
I know this season is far from over but I just have to say I am so pumped for next year with Dawson, Amanda Doyle, and Cunningham coming in

Beth stacked, everyone else fricked

Yes Maribeth Gorsuch and Shelby Sunseri are big time recruits.
Gorsuch is 2016, the other is 2017

You're right Bid Ed, her speed, strength and power are unmatched. But she has made an incredible transition in the weight room. I saw her about 3 years ago and she was a 105 lb string bean with zero strength. Now she is one of the best looking athletes in the USA. Examples below on her speed, strength and power. This is a truly special athlete.
Speed to first
Routine Grounder for a 1B
Power
Strength
Youtube Nicky Dawson and you will see amazing things. This girl is a world class softball runner and has unprecedented strength and power for someone with this type of speed.

Whats unique about her, is her speed and bat control is deadly. She can automatically get on base from grounders and bunts. She has major power though can can put it out of the park at any given time. I can see her stepping in early next year and starting at the top part of the batting order.

How good is the Sunseri girl? you can't really find anything on her
also didn't you say she had some even younger pitchers locked up for 2018 and '19?

High school softball players usually commit sometime during their high school career. It’s rare when an athlete commits even before starting their high school career or even before she played her first game of her freshman season.
But although Shelby Wickersham of New Orleans, LA hasn’t played her first season of high school softball, she knows where she wants to go to college to play softball–=LSU. Shelby has already committed to LSU despite the fact she won’t graduate from high school until 2018.
While some may wonder why Shelby committed so early, Shelby didn’t have any problem in committing earlier than normal. “It feels like I am in a dream. I never would have thought that I would have committed this early, but I am super happy it worked out the way it did. I’m glad to have the recruiting process over and now I can just focus on developing into being the best pitcher I can possibly be.”
Already 5-foot-11 Shelby also played volleyball and basketball in addition to softball, and in fact had made the varsity volleyball team at Mt. Carmel High School in New Orleans. But after talking to her travel ball coaches, she decided to concentrate only on softball. They advised her that to get to the next level of softball to concentrate on her pitching and getting out to different exposure tournaments.
Before committing to LSU, Shelby went on unofficial visits to Alabama, South Alabama and Mississippi and had a few visits planned in the fall. She, however, cancelled them after committing to LSU. “I always knew that LSU was truly where I wanted to be, but I wanted to keep other options open just in case it did not work out, Shelby told FullCountSoftball.com
LSU coaches watched Shelby play in different tournaments and soon after they offered her an unofficial visit. During the visit LSU offered her a scholarship and she didn’t waste time in saying “yes.”
“I had always known that LSU was the first choice, so I committed within ten minutes of them offering. It was truly the best option for me because it was exactly what I was looking for, and no other school could beat it. It’s close to home, has great coaches and is one of the top softball programs in the country. It has the prettiest campus, the nicest facilities with great academics, and in the best location- it just cannot be anymore perfect, “said Shelby.
As we all know alot can happen during an athlete’s high school, or college year, but Wickersham is happy with her choice, and she figures to only get better during her four years of high school softball. She hasn’t played her first high school game “but is looking forward to being part of the team. Mount Carmel has many amazing athletes, and I am very blessed and humbled to play with them.”
Wickersham,who throws in the 63 miles per hour range, led her travel ball team to the USSSA 12-under championship and she was named the tournament MVP. She said that was one of the top highlights of her career and who knows what the future holds for this precious young pitcher who knows where she is headed and figures to have more highlights in her ever developing career. Only time will tell.
