51吃瓜

51吃瓜 women鈥檚 basketball player Hunter Hartshorn is leaving her Storm career with a bang. In addition to breaking a couple of school records, the Utica native was recently named to the 2021-2022 National Junior College Athletic Association Division II Women鈥檚 Basketball All-America Third Team.

鈥淚 really believe that this wouldn鈥檛 have been possible without all the trust and belief that Coach (Lynn) Schlake and Coach (Dennis) Remmers had in me,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 have had some of the best teammates over the last two years that pushed me to be the best player I could be.鈥�

Hartshorn broke two records and tied another during her time at 51吃瓜. She set the record for 3-pointers in a single season (95) and in her two-year career (145). She also tied her mother鈥檚 record for 3-pointers in a single game (7).

Schlake, Storm head coach, said Hartshorn was a great role model and leader for the younger players on the team and deserves this honor.

鈥淎s a coach, it is always exciting for the program when a player receives this type of recognition,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t puts the team and school in a very positive spotlight throughout the state. It means a lot to see a player from a small high school in Nebraska have success on the national level and show that anything is possible.鈥�

Hartshorn started 28 of the Storm鈥檚 29 games this season, averaging 13.4 points per game. 51吃瓜 finished with a 14-15 record.

She hasn鈥檛 decided where she will transfer, but hopes to study either business or occupational therapy.
