Susquehanna's Bost Named Landmark Softball Senior Scholar Athlete
TOWSON, Md. – The Landmark Conference selects 22 senior scholar athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics.
The honorees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives, and sports information directors.
Bost graduated with a 3.93 cumulative grade point average in biomedical sciences. She made the Dean's List every semester, which recognizes students who earn a GPA of 3.40 or better in a particular semester. Bost was a three-time selection to the Landmark Spring Academic Honor Roll. She was also a member of the Susquehanna volleyball team.
An NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete in 2018 and 2019, she was inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta, a national honor society that recognizes first-year students with outstanding records. Bost serves as the chair of the community service sub-committee within the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. She is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Young Life.
She was a two-time All-Landmark honoree on the diamond after garnering a First Team nod in 2019 and collecting Second Team honors in 2018. Bost ranked fifth in the league with three stolen bases and one home run before the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, she finished third with 14 doubles and three triples while ranking fourth with 11 stolen bases.
A two-year captain, she started all 135 games played throughout her four-year career at SU, posting a career .323 batting average with 126 hits, including 26 doubles, three triples, and five home runs. Bost also scored 85 runs while driving in 71. She walked 42 times in her career, ranking in the Top 10 in the Landmark in 2017 (7th) and 2019 (6th).
Bost stole 33 bases and ranked in the top-10 in the conference each season, including coming in second in 2018 with 12 stolen bases. She made only four errors in 243 total chances to finish with a .984 career fielding percentage. Bost recorded her 100th career hit at Elizabethtown College on April 6, 2019.
During her career, SU amassed an overall record of 82-53 (26-10 Landmark), including a 6-4 mark in a shortened 2020 season, and captured the 2017 Landmark Championship. The River Hawks also made an appearance in the 2017 NCAA Division III Softball Championship Tournament Regional at Ithaca College while finishing up as the 2019 Landmark runners-up.
Bost will be attending Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia this fall a student in the Physician Assistant program.
