SANBORN, N.Y. (WKBW) — This week's First Student Super 7 athlete is Niagara Wheatfield's Lindsay Tylec. She bats leadoff for the Falcons and recently went six for ten at the plate with four home runs and eight RBI's.
"I played infield when I was younger and I'd say I'm a pretty versatile athlete. I was also a pitcher, so I played everything," Tylec said. "I can really say I could play any position the coach puts me in."
Tylec says that even though she's a sophomore, she has traits that make her a valuable player for the team.
"I would say I can cover a lot of ground on the outfield and my speed definitely helps with that, also my strength in my arm," she said.
Tylec believes the team performs their best when they uplift each other.
"They definitely push me," she said. "We all push each other to be the best we can."
The Falcons hope to win the league championship and sectionals!
"We are all very skilled athletes," Tylec said.
Tylec doesn't know what her next steps are, but would like to continue playing softball in the future.
"It's really exciting. I definitely have a lot of work to do to get to the top level, but it's really exciting to see and think about what I could do in the future, for sure," she said.
