Kailynn experienced success as a pitcher at all levels of softball. She was the Region 7A Pitcher
of the Year and a first-team All-Region player as a senior at Archer High School. She helped her
team to a regional championship in 2020 and three region runner-up finishes.
She played club ball with Atlanta Premier before signing to play college softball at Tallahassee
State College, where she earned two all-conference second team selections. She was also one
home run short of tying the program's single-season home run record and was the school’s
female student-athlete of the year in 2023.

Kailynn transferred to Georgia Gwinnett College to finish her collegiate career. She was a 2025
NAIA All-American after a stellar season that saw her throw a perfect game and lead the nation
with a 0.88 ERA. She also earned CAC pitcher of the month honors three times in a row. For
the season, she threw 183 strikeouts in 193 % innings.
She was a four-time AD Honor Roll selectee and made the President's List in both years at TSC
and was an Academic All-American in 2025.
In her free time Kailynn enjoys thrifting and exploring cute coffee shops. She loves anything art
related and exploring the outdoors. She is an avid baker and even made cupcakes to request for
all of her former teammates birthdays while at GGC.
