Kylinn Stangl, who has led the Mankato East softball team to back-to-back Class AAA championships, enters her senior season poised to continue climbing the Cougar record book.
Stangl, a two-time first-team all-state pick, went 18-5 with a 1.07 earned-run average and 192 strikeouts in 143 2/3 innings last season. She is fourth all-time at East in strikeouts (457) and tied for fifth in career wins (46).
Offensively, Stangl hit .342 with five home runs and 24 RBIs last season. Her 18 career home runs rank second in East history, while she’s tied for fourth with 105 career RBIs.
Stangl, who was an All-Big Nine Conference pick in basketball this year, has signed to play softball at the University of Minnesota.
