Glory Alumni Lauren Castro in the news... 11/2014
GILROY—Lauren Castro’s softball career almost ended before it ever really began. The Gilroy High senior quit her first year of tee-ball, intimidated by crowds and attention. But thankfully for Castro, her parents convinced her to give it one more try and this time, she fell in love.
Castro spent countless long nights pitching to her dad Ed Castro in the backyard—even when it was the last thing she wanted to do. All of that hard work has paid off in the form of an athletic scholarship to Canisius College. Lauren officially signed her letter of intent to play for the Division I Golden Griffins Friday in the Gilroy High library surrounded by her family and friends.
“I feel like I’m on top of the world,” Lauren said. “I’m just so happy and excited. I was waiting for this day for a really long time.”
Lauren has a long list of softball achievements, including leading the Mustangs to a Central Coast Section Division II championship in her sophomore year. On her signing day, attendees enjoyed cake which was decorated with pictures of her in various uniforms from all the teams she’s played on through the years. Lauren has played travel ball and trained year round to get here, but said it was worth it to achieve her dream of playing for a Division I team.
