Bio
Kinnetz earned first-team all-state honors in 2012. She is a three-time all-metro pick and a two-time first-team all-conference selection at Waterloo East High School. Kinnetz tallied honorable mention all-state honors in 2011. In 2012, Kinnetz hit 10 home runs, drove in 42 runs, stole 33 bases and hit .513 at the plate. Kinnetz is also a two-time first-team all-metro pick in volleyball. She is an honor roll student and plans to major in biology at UNI.
"What is so special about Kate is that she is one of the best players in the state and is a local kid," Jacobs said. "It has been fun to watch her grow as a player and see her develop her skills. The development of power at the plate has been most noticable. She went from one home run in her sophomore season to nine home runs in her junior season. Her passion for the game of softball is what she will bring to our program. It is also that passion that will allow her to be a versatile player and help us in many ways. She comes from a great high school softball program at Waterloo East where I know they teach their players how to compete, toughness and a never give up attitude."
