Linn-Mar senior Katie Sommer is the winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school girls this week, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.

Sommer is one of the top softball players in the state as the leadoff hitter, catalyst and shortstop for the Lions.

She ranks first in the Mississippi Valley Conference in batting average (.593), first in runs scored (46), first in stolen bases (46), second in hits (54) and second in on-base percentage (.657).

Sommer ranks in the top-4 in all five of those categories in Class 5A and ranks in the top-10 in all five categories in the state.

Sommer, a first team all-state pick in 2013, was injured Thursday night when she was hit in the head by an errant throw in a fluke accident on defense. She did not play in the Linn-Mar tournament this past weekend, but hopes to return to action this week for the Lions (20-12).

Sommer is also an accomplished basketball player. She and her twin sister, Kristie, plan to play both sports at Wartburg College.
