As we head into Spring Break, it’s time to recognize two standout competitors who continue to raise the bar—introducing your Pioneer Student-Athletes of the Month for April. Kira Kunkel – Senior | Softball A four-year starter and team captain, Kira Kunkel continues to lead by example both on and off the field. She carries a strong 3.75 GPA in the classroom while dominating behind the plate, where she’s been a menace to opposing baserunners all season long. At the dish, her power has been undeniable—launching 4 home runs in just 9 games to fuel the Pioneer offense. Kira’s leadership, toughness, and competitive fire make her the heartbeat of this team. Jake Westmoreland – Sophomore | Baseball Jake Westmoreland is proving that the future is now. The sophomore standout—also a First Team All-League linebacker on the football field—brings elite athleticism and discipline to everything he does. A perfect 4.00 student-athlete, Jake is leading the baseball team with an eye-popping .643 batting average and .821 on-base percentage. His confident approach at the plate consistently puts the Pioneers in scoring position and sets the tone for the lineup. Two athletes. Two sports. One standard of excellence. Congratulations to Kira and Jake—your April Student-Athletes of the Month!
