After driving in a state-record 91 runs during Canyon del Oro’s 2011 state championship softball season, Mattie Fowler went on to a productive career at Nebraska. She made the best of her years as a Cornhusker; last week, the school announced that she has been hired as athletics development operations director. She will work in the fund-raising office and manage day to day development office operations. Fowler earned her undergraduate degree in finance. She is in the process of finishing an MBA. Well done.
