  • Meadowbrook Ace Mowing Down Opposition
    8/22/2018 Meadowbrook Ace Mowing Down Opposition Meadowbrook Ace Mowing Down Opposition The Ohio High School Athletic Association Home | Administrator's Corner | Eligibility | Sports | News | Contact Us To More Feature Articles Meadowbrook Ace Mowing Down Opposition By Jeff Harrison, The Daily Jeffersonian BYESVILLE -- By all indications, it appears Meadowbrook High senior softball sensation Kinsi Tellep is now a national record-holder. Tellep turned in an incredible individual performance in the first game of Saturday's (April 13) doubleheader with Harrison Central in a battle of unbeaten OVAC Class 3-A teams, striking out a whopping 37 batters only to suffer a heartbreaking 1-0 loss in on a walk and an error in the bottom of the 14th inning of the first game of the twinbill. That performance, according to records obtained from www.wikipedia.com, is a national high school record for both a 14-inning game and all games under 20 innings. Tellep's 37 breaks the previous mark of 33 in both categories set by U.S. Olympian "Cat" Osterman in 2001 when she had 33 strikeouts at Cypress Springs (Texas) High School in a 14- inning 1-0 victory. As for all-time strikeouts regardless of innings played, Tellep's effort would now rank 15th nationally, with the national record a 61-strikeout, 30-inning performance by Alicia Hollowell of Fairfield (California) High School who went on to be an All-American at the University of Arizona. She's also put her name in the OHSAA record book for strikeouts in an extra inning game where her effort stands fourth all-time.

  • EXPLORING the BRAND IDENTITY CREATION of FEMALE ATHLETES: the CASE of JENNIE FINCH and CAT OSTERMAN a Dissertation by JAMI NICO
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&M Repository EXPLORING THE BRAND IDENTITY CREATION OF FEMALE ATHLETES: THE CASE OF JENNIE FINCH AND CAT OSTERMAN A Dissertation by JAMI NICOLE LOBPRIES Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Gregg Bennett Committee Members, George Cunningham Summer Odom Jon Welty-Peachy Head of Department, Richard Kreider August 2014 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2014 Jami Nicole Lobpries ABSTRACT In the context of human branding, athletes have become viable brands capable of providing empirical support for scholarly and industry endeavors. To add to our conceptual understanding of athlete branding and particularly in the context of female athletes, this qualitative case study investigated the brand identity creation and brand building strategies used by two female athletes, Jennie Finch and Cat Osterman, and their management teams to leverage their brand equity. Further, due to the gendered nature of sport, this case study assessed the perceived barriers female athletes face in the brand building process. Guided by brand identity theory and social role theory, interviews were conducted with Finch, Osterman, three female agents who manage female athletes’ brands, and four softball players from various levels of the softball community. Findings from this case study provide empirical support for using brand identity theory to assess the creation of an athlete’s brand identity and strategies for positioning, communicating, and leveraging the athlete’s brand. Themes shaping brand identity creation included identifying core values, brand personality, and brand associations.
