Aug 7, 2015

Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) Head Softball Coach Robert Iamurri has named Chelsea Wildey the team’s Assistant Softball Coach.

“Chelsea has been honored not only for her play and a batting average above .300, but also her academic achievements,” said Iamurri. “She knows what it takes to be a team leader, along with firsthand experience as a former student-athlete. She can easily relate to our players.”

“This is an incredible opportunity to take what I learned as a student-athlete and share that with the team,” said Wildey. “Being part of a new program is exciting. It’s not often you get the chance to help shape a program from the start.”

Wildey began her college softball career at State College of Florida. She led the team to a 52-8 record and a sixth place finish as nationals during her freshman year. As a sophomore, she carried a .368 batting average with 48 hits, including 11 doubles. She was also named a NJCAA Athlete of Distinction for maintaining a 3.76 GPA. She also had 45 RBIs in two seasons. The team won back-to-back conference championships.

Her junior and senior years were at the University of Akron, where she was a starter for all games both years. As a junior, she batted .312 with 39 hits and 10 stolen bases. She led the team with 94 assists in the field and a fielding percentage of .942. As a senior for Zips, she played shortstop and batted .300. She was also recognized with All-American Academic Honors and named to the Dean’s list.
