Five Lawrence University athletic greats and one coach are set to be inducted into the Intercollegiate Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 17.
Among the inductees is Shawano native Amanda Jaskolski of the class of 2015.
The group will be inducted in a ceremony at the Warch Campus Center, and the inductees will be introduced during the homecoming football game against Beloit College on Oct. 18 at Ron Roberts Field at the Banta Bowl.
Jaskolski set a new standard for greatness in the Lawrence softball program.
In her two seasons with the Vikings, Jaskolski became the first shortstop in Midwest Conference history to be a first-team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American. An exceptional hitter and slick fielder, Jaskolski was a two-time Midwest Conference player of the year and two-time first-team NFCA All-Great Lakes Region selection.
Jaskolski transferred to Lawrence before her junior season in 2014. In just two campaigns, Jaskolski put up some eye-popping numbers.
When she graduated in 2015, Jaskolski was second in the Lawrence record book with a .439 career batting average. She was third with 19 career home runs and eighth with 76 runs batted in. Jaskolski set the Lawrence record with a career .820 slugging percentage.
Jaskolski set six season records on her way to hitting .462 as a senior in 2015. She set Lawrence records that season with 54 hits, 13 home runs, 37 runs scored, 46 RBIs, 31 walks and 104 total bases.
During her two seasons, Jaskolski led Lawrence to a 46-25 record, including a 19-9 record in the Midwest Conference play. Lawrence qualified for the Midwest Conference Tournament in both seasons and reached the championship game in 2015.
Jaskolski, who earned a degree in history at Lawrence, works as a development coordinator at Breakthrough T1D (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Jaskolski and her wife, Christina Nagle, have two children, Max and Remi, and live in Appleton.
