She will bring her versatility and positive attitude to the Blue Devils program after finding a school that checked several boxes during her recruiting process.Burke began her search by identifying schools within approximately three hours of home that offered both her preferred academic program and a competitive softball opportunity.Kansas City Kansas Community College quickly emerged as a strong possibility, and a campus visit and softball camp helped solidify her interest."I really loved how their school was set up," Burke said. "I really love their environment. I love the field. I love the dorms. The dorms are very nice. And I love the team dynamic. They were really nice when I had my visit, and it was like I already belonged there."Burke also attended a camp at Des Moines Area Community College during her recruitment, but she felt a stronger connection with the atmosphere and energy at Kansas City Kansas.The combination of the campus environment, facilities and team chemistry ultimately made the Blue Devils her preferred destination.With her college decision finalized, Burke is excited about the opportunity to experience greater independence while continuing to play the sport she loves."I'm pretty excited," Burke said. "I'm excited to get away from home and try to experience things on my own and play softball."On the field, Burke believes her ability to contribute at multiple positions will be an asset at the next level.During conversations with the Kansas City Kansas coaching staff, she learned that her energy and willingness to embrace different roles were qualities the program valued."I talked with their coach, and she said she really liked my energy and how positive I was," Burke said. "And she said she would love to have more utilities on her team, people that play any position, really."That versatility has been an important part of Burke's development at Treynor, where she has gained valuable experience as an infielder.Burke also credited several people who have helped her improve throughout her softball career, beginning with her father.She said his encouragement and commitment to her development helped keep her motivated and focused on continuing with the sport.Burke also recognized hitting instructor Reece Blay and fielding instructor Matt Minahan for helping her make significant improvements in different aspects of her game.She said her hitting has progressed considerably during more than a year of working with Blay, while Minahan has helped sharpen her defensive abilities."The main person I'd like to shout out is my dad because he got me along the way," Burke said. "He got me motivated. He really pushed me to stay committed to a sport that I love."Listen to much more with Burke on her college decision in the audio file below.</div></body>
