Saints Softball Adds Allen and Chronister to Coaching Staff

3

Santa Fe College recently issued the following announcement.

First-year Head Coach Savanah Webster of Santa Fe College Softball is pleased to announce two additions to the coaching staff, Casey Allen and Katie Chronister.

"I am thrilled to add Katie and Casey to the staff," expressed Webster. "Their passion for the game, extensive knowledge and competitive edge is what I believe will continue to help us build a championship team. We are thankful to have them be a part of team No. 28 here at Santa Fe."

Casey Allen will serve as the Assistant Coach for Webster. 

Allen is familiar with the Mid-Florida Conference, having spent two seasons at Lake-Sumter State College playing for the Lakehawks. After a decorated high school career at Mount Dora Christian Academy in Mount Dora, Fla., Casey was a two-year starter for the Lakehawks. As a freshman, she started games in all three outfield positions as well as behind the plate while hitting .322 with a .393 on-base-percentage on her way to earning All-Conference accolades. During her sophomore season, Allen was hitting .426 with 26 RBIs, collecting 43 hits through 32 games before the season was cut short due to COVID-19.

Allen will be working directly with the outfield as well as the hitters. She currently resides in Gainesville with her husband, Remy Powell. 

Katie Chronister

Chronister will serve as the Saints' pitching coach, after an illustrious playing career at the University of Florida.

Chronister was a left-handed pitcher for the Gators from 2017-2021, and helped UF acquire three SEC Championships. 

The native of Gainesville was the 2016 Florida Gatorade Player of the Year, and will undoubtedly help mentor the Saints' pitching staff as they perform from inside the circle. 

 Chronister: "Being a part of this program brings out my competitive drive to make an impact on these girls, in the hopes that they will leave the program better than they found it for the future group of Saints athletes. I am excited to share my knowledge with these girls with the intention of preparing them for the next level."

Webster and the coaching staff will lead the Saints in preparation for the season opener on Friday, Jan. 28 at the JUCO Kickoff Tournament in Clearwater, Fla. The tournament will feature four games for SF, and will run from Jan. 28 - Jan. 29, with opponents and start times yet to be determined. 

The complete schedule is linked below, and a full roster will be updated in the New Year. Throughout the season and as team schedules are added or adjusted, Saints fans can also view a composite, week-by-week schedule (included below).
