Wichita State outfielder Lauren Lucas and first baseman Cam Compton update us on fall practices and their rebound seasons after injuries sidelined both in 2024. They talk about staying engaged as unofficial hitting coaches last spring and how they leaned on teammates and family while out of uniform. They discuss outfielder Ellee Eck, one of the newcomers making a strong impression this fall, and freshman Ava Sliger. We also dive into growing up in a family of athletes, restaurants in Southeast Kansas and their advice for the younger Shockers.
