71 2008 ALABAMA SOFTBALL Golden Girl of Summer - Kelly Kretschman
She’d been to the Olympics before, but this time, it felt like the first time. Kelly Kretschman traveled with the U.S. Olympic team to Sydney, Australia in 2000 as an alternate. She was unable to sit in the dugout with the team, nor did she get to participate in the medal ceremony as the team captured its second straight gold medal. In 2004, Kretschman was the starting right fielder for the 2004 U.S. Olympic squad that steam- rolled through the Games en route to its third consecu- tive gold medal. Kretschman was the only batter, for any country, to hit for the cycle -- hitting at least one single, double, triple and home run -- over the course of the Olympics. Her .333 batting average was eighth-best in the Sum- mer Games, and her .714 slugging percentage ranked third among all hitters in Athens. Kretschman wasn’t the only member of the Crim- son Tide softball family to see Olympic action. Ala- bama head coach Patrick Murphy served as assistant coach for the Canadian Olympic team. With Murphy on board, the Canadians enjoyed one of their most successful international outings. Finishing just out of medal contention in fourth place.
