We are proud of Kenmore East High School senior Gabi Vasi who has signed her intent to play softball at Division II school Gannon University in Erie, PA.

Gabi represents the elite among high school athletes who move on to compete at the college level. She was celebrated at a signing ceremony at Kenmore East High School on Friday, Jan. 17.

According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, only a very small percentage of high school athletes are accepted into Division I, Division II, or Division III programs.

For softball, only 5.5 percent of athletes go on to compete in college, and only 1.6 percent of athletes go on to compete at Division II schools.
