Friday, June 24, 2005 KANSAS SOFTBALL PLAYERS SELECTED FOR TECHNOCAT ELITE TEAM SALINA – Fifteen softball players were selected to play on an elite 18-and-under softball team, the TechnoCats, sponsored by Kansas State University at Salina. The girls are competing in weekend tournaments and weekly double-headers all summer, in addition to living on the K-State at Salina campus and taking college courses for credit. This is the second year for the team and the softball summer program, which focuses on athletics, leadership and academics. “The TechnoCats team was created to be a part of the K-State at Salina family during the summer months,” said Dixie Schierlman, associate dean of student life. “This program gives top softball athletes from around the state the chance to work on their sports skills, take college classes and get a taste of campus life.” Because K-State does not have an NCAA softball team, high school athletes are able to participate without threatening their recruiting eligibility. Coaches for the team are Darryl Hoelting, Salina, and Janice Esses, of Lindsborg.
