Concordia’s Erinae Flesher – Athlete Spotlight Presented By Salina Ortho

By Hayden Swope

Concordia’s 2023 first team all-league infielder Erinae Flesher had high hopes heading into the spring season. With this being her last year as a Panther, Flesher wanted to do everything she could to make it the best season yet. 

“It was my senior year which meant it was my last year,” Flesher said. “I was hoping for a really good season because I believe in my teammates more than anything. “The season did not go as we thought, but I still had a blast and I enjoyed every moment I got with those girls.”

After having her eye on one big goal all throughout high school, Flesher was able to share that goal and memory with her teammates on one of the most important nights of the season. 

“I did accomplish one goal and I have set this goal since freshman year,” Flesher said. “I finally hit a home run over the fence on my senior night. It was honestly the best game of my life.”

Even off the field Flesher tried to make the most of her season, and the last few moments with her girls. 

“My favorite memory of the season would have to be all the long bus rides with my team, even though the bus is not that ideal place to be,” Flesher said. “My best friend Brecklynn and I always jammed out at the back of the bus.”

After graduation, Flesher has aspirations to further her education.  

“My plans after high school is to continue my education at Hays Hair School in Salina,” Flesher said.
