Klam came to A&M from Katy High School, a 5A school near Hous ton,where she helped lead her team to three playoff appearances while playing under former Aggie All-American Judy TYussell. It was there Klam made the all-state team three times and nabbed the prestigious 1998 Gatorade Circle of Champions Texas Softball Player of the Year award. But Klam does not worry much about the awards or statistics. When asked about her nine-game hit streak to start the season Klam replied, “1 try not to keep up with them, because sometimes they can really mess you up if you do.” For Klam, there are many impressive statistics to focus on. The fresh man has a .367 batting average with 18 hits. She leads the team in home runs (1), Slugging Percentage (.551), RBIs (8), and total bases (27). She is in the top five in doubles, triples and batting average as well. Despite her dominate performance, softball is not something that just came naturally for Klam. She said hard work and dedication is responsi ble for much of her success. “I started playing when 1 was seven,” she said. “My dad spent hours and hours outside teaching me how to just throw the ball right.” Head softball coach Jo Evans said she thinks all the time Klam spent practicing was worth it. “She’s probably one of the best athletes I’ve ever recruited," Evans said. “She’s an impact player, and she is making an impact at the Divi sion I level.” Klam says that she almost did not come to A&M. “I was so set on going to LSU, but then 1 came to A&M and 1 was just kind of like, ‘This is my home,”’ Klam said. “People here always smile at you, and they treat you like they’ve known you forever even though you just met them five minutes ago.” Klam said Evans has done her part in making the freshman feel at home. “I love her,” Klam said. “She doesn’t yell and scream at you like some coaches do. She has her own subtle ways of letting you know what she wants done.” SUMMER JOB!
