Six Badgers receive All-Big Ten awards

May 9, 2018 By Bill Scott

Kelsey Jenkins

The Big Ten Conference awarded six Wisconsin Badgers Big Ten honors on Wednesday, the most the program has ever had in a single season.

Senior Kelsey Jenkins was named to the All-Big Ten first team, senior Brooke Wyderski and Freshman Haley Hestekin were named to the All-Big Ten second team, while Hestekin and fellow freshman Taylor Johnson earned spots on the All-Freshman team.  Sophomre Kaitlyn Menz was named to the All-Defensive team and senior Samantha Arents was recognized as the team’s Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree.

Jenkins earned a spot on the All-Big Ten first team for the third time in her career.  The senior standout finished the regular season first in the league in batting average (.420) and on-base percentage (.578).  Her stellar on-base percentage also ranks fifth nationally.  The second baseman also racked up a team-high 42 runs, 55 hits, and 44 walks this season.  She is the program’s all-time leader in career runs (179) and walks (180) and has started in every game in her for years as a Badger.  Jenkins was also named Justin’s World of Softball Big Ten Player of the Year.

The Badgers host the Big Ten Women’s softball Tournament starting Thursday at Goodman Diamond.  Wisconsin (27-10, 11-9 Big Ten) finished 7th in league play and will face Purdue in the opening round at 11 a.m. Thursday.
