UT Arlington softball head coach Kara Dill has announced the final addition of Tamya Waiters who is set to join the team this fall.
Waiters is a right-handed pitcher from The Colony High School. The incoming freshman logged many accolades throughout her senior year as she was named the 2022 DFW All-Metroplex 5A Player of the Year, Texas All-State Softball Team Pitcher, Texas Girls Association Softball Legacy Team and earned a Dallas Morning News Athlete of the Week honorable mention twice.
In 2022, the righty also posted 1st Team All-District honors along with being a semifinalist for the Softball Texas 5A Regional. To cap her senior year, Waiters was selected to the DFW All-Metroplex 1st Team and Star Local Media All-Area UIL 1st Team.
Waiters' efforts not only showed on the field, but in the classroom as well. The Texas native earned 2022 Academic All-District respects and was part of the Texas Academic All-State team.
