Article credit Lake Geneva Regional News Growing up as an only child in the small town of Walworth, it was Lily Wolf’s goal to find an outlet and she did just that with sports, specifically softball. “I grew up in Walworth my whole life, I just moved across town when I was in like eighth grade,” Wolf said. “But growing up here was fun. It’s a little bit lonely not having a sibling, but it has been nice because my parents have been able to support me in whatever I wanted to do and come to all of my events.” She said her interest in sports came from her parents. Wolf said she began playing sports when she was just 5 years old, and it all started in her backyard. “My parents didn’t necessarily push me towards sports, but my mom played Division 3 Softball at Luther College in Iowa and my dad was a very good football player growing up,” Wolf said. “I think they both just loved sports and I caught it from them.” “I was the kid in my backyard with a wiffle ball bat and a glove,” Wolf said. “I started playing tee-ball, then I played baseball as the only girl when I was 7 years old before playing for our community softball team.” From that point forward, she excelled. “I started playing travel softball pretty early on,” Wolf said. “I moved teams for 12 and under, and I moved teams for 13 and under to where I have been for the past few years.” Where she has been for the past few years is on the Big Foot Varsity Softball team and with the Wisconsin Lightning Travel Softball team, where she joins 16 other top softball prospects in the state of Wisconsin. When not playing softball for the Lightning, the Class of 2025 rising senior is playing for the Big Foot Chiefs Varsity Softball team, a team she has been a part of since she was a freshman. As a sophomore, Wolf had a batting average of .486 and an on base percentage (OBP) of .548, while leading the team in hits (35), doubles (11), home runs (9), and RBIs (26) in a span of 23 games. Following her sophomore season where she earned a First Team All-Conference selection (Rock Valley), schools began to take notice. “September 1 of your junior year is when Division 1 schools can legally, per NCAA rules, begin reaching out to you, and I think I had four or five reach out to me on the very first day,” Wolf said. “Division 2 schools can start talking to you before that and I heard from Grand Valley State University.”Grand Valley State University located in Allendale, Michigan, was the first university to offer her a scholarship. “I went to a softball camp there and it’s really pretty,” Wolf said. “I thought it was gorgeous when I visited there.” But her second and only other scholarship offer came from Murray State University, a Division 1 program located in Murray, Kentucky, and that’s all she needed. Wolf officially committed to Murray State and the Racers Softball program in Mid-November this past year. “I went there for a camp back in August of last year and I loved their campus. I wanted more of a small to medium campus feel. I don’t like the huge campus feel because I grew up in Walworth, Wisconsin, and that’s not exactly huge,” she said. “The campus is really pretty and it’s easy to get around and there’s quite a few places to go and things to do around campus as well. Murray is a cool little college town, and I really liked that part.”But it was the Murray State softball coaches that made the decision for Wolf to commit even easier. “The coaches were my favorite by far that I had actually talked to at camps,” Wolf said. “They were very welcoming and incredibly nice. You can’t talk to college coaches before that, but they can follow you on social media platforms and like your posts, which they did beforehand. It was nice to finally be recognized and they’re just super nice people.” Wolf said the recruiting process was tough and she was happy to get it over with during her junior year. “After I committed, I stopped emailing colleges and they stopped reaching out,” she said. “It was a stressful process and I’m glad to be done with it.”As of now and with a year still left of high school, she plans to major in sports management. “Since I have been around sports so much, I kind of want to go into the business side of things for either a college team or maybe a bigger minor league team,” Wolf said. With her commitment already out of the way, it was one less thing Wolf had to worry about during the Big Foot softball season, and clearly it paid off. She hit for a batting average of .574 and totaled 44 hits and stole 22 bases, both of which led her team, and once again earned first team all-conference honors as well as earning a 2023 All-State selection. On top of her individual statistics, Big Foot had one heck of a season as a team. They finished 12-8 overall and 10-5 in the Rock Valley Conference, which counts for their most wins in conference since 2008. “I think we beat everybody’s expectations, even my own, actually” Wolf said. “We had Coach (Troy) Hummel back last year, which helped, and we got some new people in freshman Leah Paulsen and Mylee Walter who were a huge help in the outfield as well. It was a very fun season, and I had a really good time. But I think we’ll be even better next season because we only lost one senior.” Defensively, Wolf plays the shortstop position for Big Foot, but she’s more than willing to play any position, with the exception of pitcher, to help her team win. “You can put me in the outfield, catcher, and even first base,” she said. “I just want to play.” Wolf now heads into her senior season as the second-best high school softball player in the state for the Class of 2025, according to https://showtimesportscamps.com/player-rankings-class-2025/ I want to be more of a leader this year for high school and help pick up my team,” Wolf said. “But I would love to get all-state again, but realistically I don’t pitch, so that probably won’t happen.” But for her, the team always comes first. “I want to win regionals next year and possibly conference,” Wolf said. “We came pretty close this year, but we split with Brodhead, and we split with Turner, and prior to last season we had never beaten either of them the past two years.” While beating Brodhead on the softball field was one of her favorite moments from last season, her favorite memory so far came up on the volleyball court with her best friend Molly Andersen. “Beating Brodhead for me is definitely up there, but we won conference in volleyball this past year and I was able to do it with one of my best friends (Andersen), which was really fun for me.” But to even be in this position, Wolf is incredibly thankful, and she knows she wouldn’t be here without her role models: parents. “Having my mom and dad there since I was little has been so helpful and they meant so much to me,” she said. “I don’t exactly have the biggest build, but they always told me that hard work will beat talent and they’re right.” That hard work doesn’t just apply to Wolf when she’s out on the softball field, it has paid off even more so in the classroom as she currently maintains a 4.18 GPA. “I really want to be top five in my class,” Wolf said. “It’s important for me to keep my grades up.” Wolf is taking things one day at a time and looking forward to her senior year of high school at Big Foot, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t excited about the future as a student-athlete at Murray State. “Obviously, I want to keep my grades up,” she said. “I think it would be great to play my freshman year. Division 1 is incredibly competitive, and I know the Missouri Valley Conference is pretty decent as a whole. But it would be great to play in the field a couple times and make the travel squad for the full year.” And with those goals in mind as a top five student in her class and on the softball field, that seems like a pretty safe bet.
