Windsor softball sweeps top CHSAA awards after historic unbeaten title

After an incredible 29-0 season, Windsor softball secured historic titles by sweeping top CHSAA awards on Nov. 2. Senior pitcher Jenna McGinnis claimed Player of the Year honors and coach Haley Hanson earned Coach of the Year accolades. McGinnis dominated with a 44-4 career record and a 1.33 ERA, striking out 162 batters in 89 innings.

Partner Shannon Nielsen complemented her in the rotation. Freshman Taylor Nixon joined McGinnis on the first team, while Nielsen, Breckyn Billadeau, and Maizie Magaña made the second team. The Wizards' dominance was evident in their record 21-0 run against a highly competitive schedule, including a win over No. 1 Cherokee Trail and five other semifinalists.

Windsor has gone 20 years without a state title, waiting since 2010 when Legacy won. The team's stats reveal a 347-26 scoring margin, the Colorado record in the MaxPreps era.
