Shelby Hillyer

Hello! My name is Shelby Hillyer and I play for the NW Vandals. I am from Medford, Oregon and attend South Medford High School. I am a 2025 catcher and outfielder, as I mainly catch in high school and play both these positions in travel ball. 

I want to go to a university that will overall prepare me for nursing school. I want to work in the sports side of nursing as well. I plan on taking sports and exercise science for my first 4 years then after applying to nursing school. I have played softball for 12 years and want to keep playing for 4 more years. Softball has taught me a lot not only on the field but also off the field. It has shown me how to get through the tough times and come out on top. Softball makes me a better person every day and pushes me every time I step out on the field. 

I am ready to work hard in the classroom and on the field. I am the type of player to put the team first and do what's best for the team. I take pride in my teamwork, communication, and work ethic. It is important to me that I always do the best I can with everything.
