Whitney Larsen

Classroom

A communications major, Larsen was a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America in 2009. She’s also a three-year member of both the Southeastern Conference honor roll and the University of Alabama Dean’s List.

Character

Being from the Birmingham area, Larsen has been a prime example of the true student-athlete and has made an impact on the local youth while at Alabama. She has spent countless hours in the community and has been a positive influence on the local youth. She is the captain of the highly ranked Crimson Tide and is one of two senior leaders on the team. Larsen adds not just a hard work ethic to the team but can also lighten the mood with her personality. The cleanup hitter for the Tide in 2010, Larsen had a career year in batting average, home runs and RBI.

Community

Larsen has participated in several community-outreach programs including the Beat Auburn, Beat Hunger canned food drive, Easter Seals Walk with Me, handing out softball season tickets to members of the community and volunteering at the Tuscaloosa County Animal Shelter. She also spoke at Tuscaloosa Middle School on National Girls and Women in Sports Day and has volunteered at several youth softball team practices and the RISE program.

Competition

Larsen, who holds the school’s all-time grand slams record, has led her team to two trips to the Women’s College World Series and will attempt to do that once again as a senior. Last year Larsen was selected as an All-SEC member.
