Hall of Fame
Kelly Kashmerick, a four-year (1999-2002) member of the Wayne State softball team and a two-time NFCA First Team All-America selection, has been selected for induction into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
Kashmerick first earned NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) First Team All-America honors following her junior campaign in which she batted .404 with 17 doubles, 25 extra-base hits, 118 total bases and a .581 slugging percentage while starting all 57 games.
In 2002, she hit .392 with 18 doubles and a .426 on-base percentage (11 walks to seven strikeouts) in 190 plate appearances to earn NFCA First Team All-America accolades for the second consecutive season. She led the GLIAC in hits (69), runs (42), doubles and total bases (99).
Kashmerick finished her WSU career as the all-time leader in games played (231) and at bats (769), a total which ranks 23rd in NCAA Division II history. She was second in career hits (281), doubles (54) and total bases (377), third in runs scored (135) and fourth in batting average (.365) when she graduated. She was also in the top 10 in triples (9), slugging percentage (.490) and on-base percentage (.390).
