WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State softball accomplished another first in program history Wednesday evening with the announcement of Addison Barnard and Sydney McKinney earning National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Second Team All-America honors.
Wichita State has never had multiple All-America selections until 2022. McKinney also becomes the first two-time All-American in school history after becoming the program's initial NFCA All-American in 2021. McKinney was a third team choice as a sophomore. This is the first NFCA All-American honor for Barnard, who just completed a stellar sophomore campaign.
Barnard, the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year, leads the nation in home runs (33) and RBI (84) to go with 25 stolen bases.
