Senior athletes renamed ‘All-State’ during their ’25 season

Seniors Kayleigh Sheleman and Quinn Winslow were titled All-State through their display of elite skill and hard work during the 2025 season.

The title of all-state is the highest form of recognition a hard working athlete can receive in the commonwealth.

“I feel honored to be an all-state athlete, ” says Winslow. “I am very grateful because most people don’t get to experience this type of award.”

Sheleman got recognized as a PIAA First Team All-State Third Baseman for softball and Winslow as a PIAA All-State Midfielder for soccer.

“I am very excited and proud to receive this recognition,” said Sheleman. “Sophomore year I was recognized as a Second Team All-State Third Baseman and set out with a goal to earn First Team junior year, so I was glad all of my hard work paid off in that sense!”

Sheleman plans to go to college after graduation in hopes of becoming a Division 1 softball player and Winslow will continue to pursue a soccer career.

“To become All-State, I had to put in more work than just regular practices and games,” said Winslow. “I ran and practiced on my own in the off season in order to stay in shape”

Sheleman has been playing softball since she was 10 years old and has been “[practicing] with [her] dad at least twice a week” consistently since she was 12.

Both Sheleman and Winslow said that their families have been their biggest supporters throughout their career.

“My advice I would give is to never stop working and do not listen to what others have to say about you,” said Sheleman. “There will be plenty of people that doubt you and talk down about you, but it is very important that you work hard and prove them wrong!”

Winslow also shared his advice.

 “If you want to become an elite athlete, you have to be confident in your skills, and able to overcome adversities, such as injuries or a bad game,” advised Winslow.
