The Wingertzahn File

Name: Katie Wingertzahn

Grade: Sophomore

Other Sports/Activities: Varsity basketball.

Wilton Villager: What's the best thing about your school?

Katie Wingertzahn: I'd have to say the sports. I like how the coaches really know you, they're not just coaches, they're friends.

WV: If you could change just one thing about your school, what would it be?

KW: I'd probably make lunch longer.

WV: What was the game-winning hit over Bethel like for you?

KW: I had never won a game before, so I was so shocked. I was so happy and my teammates were very supportive. I'm just happy the team won. It's all about the W.

WV: Did anybody give you any advice as you went to bat in that situation?

KW: Coach (Bruce Cunningham) says just to relax and keep your head in it and don't worry about anything. I just took his advice.

WV: Can you describe the excitement that is within the Wilton softball program right now?

KW: Right now, because we're (3-0), we're very excited. We've got a great team this season and I think everybody is generally happy. We love to be out here playing.

WV: What do your teammates mean to you?

KW: They're like family. I can tell them anything and we all hang out together.

WV: If this is a lacrosse town, why didn't you play lacrosse?

KW: I just never got into lacrosse. I played soccer for a while, but it was just too similar (to lacrosse) so I tried softball and I just loved it.

WV: What's your perfect breakfast?

KW: Scrambled Eggs. (Pause). With lots of ketchup.

WV: What's the one thing everybody knows about you?

KW: I love to play music. I play guitar and piano.

WV: What's something that nobody knows about you?

KW: I didn't start playing softball until seventh grade.

WV: When was the last time you cried watching a movie? And what movie was it?

KW: It was probably about a year ago. It was the movie "Click." That's pretty shameful right there.

WV: What scares you more than anything else in this world?

KW: My dad, when he's angry at me.

WV: If you could go back in time and witness anything in history, what would it be?

KW: Woodstock. The original one. I'm just a big music fan.

WV: Hollywood has called and wants to make a movie of your life. What's the title and who is the star?

KW: I'll have to go with what (my teammates) always call me and call it, "A Day In the Life of a Red Head." I'd have to have Amanda Bynes star in it.
