My Story

My name is Ava Risum and I'm a pitcher, middle infielder, utility, power hitter from Brodhead, WI who played travel softball for 18u Silver Hawks Dennison-McNulty . I am currently continuing my education and playing Division 1 softball at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO.  I graduated from Brodhead High school in the class of 2025 with a 3.941 GPA .  I was a multi-sport athlete playing softball and volleyball while also playing saxophone for the school band. I was in ballet and hip hop dance for over 12 years which has helped me with having great body awareness.  I was the Brodhead High school softball manager from 5th grade through 8th grade.  When I have time away from athletics, I am also an entrepreneur as I have a lemonade business that I set up at local festivals.
