Creston, IA—The Southwestern Community College 2023-24 softball roster continues to take shape with Spartan Head Coach Danny Jensen's most recent announcement—the addition of Haley Keller of Columbia, Missouri.

Keller, experienced at shortstop, second base, and pitcher, has gained a great deal of playing experience as a member of the Mid-Missouri Grit fast pitch 18u team. She is a senior at Fr. Tolton Catholic High School and will graduate in June 2023.

Jensen said he is happy he landed a solid all-around player in Keller.

"Haley's experience playing at shortstop and second base, as well as pitching is going to add a great deal of versatility to our team," said Jensen. "In addition, she brings an outgoing personality, which is always a benefit in team building. Haley has had much success playing for Mid Missouri Grit organization and we are happy to welcome her to the Spartan family."

Keller is the daughter of Heather and Brad Keller of Columbia, Missouri.
