Mount St. Mary Academy hosted a second sports signing day on Wednesday, February 4, to honor two additional Belles – seniors Sadie Meadows and Julianna Sterl – who signed letters of intent to continue their sport at the collegiate level next year.

A nationally ranked catcher and powerhouse hitter, Sadie signed to play softball at William Woods University in Fulton, Missouri. Julianna Sterl will be staying in Arkansas after officially committing to join the clay target team at the University of Ozarks in Clarksville. She is the first markswoman in the history of Mount St. Mary Academy’s Trapshooting Club to sign a letter of intent to compete in the sport in college.

A total of seven members of the Class of 2026 have now become "Next Level Belles" who are committed to continuing their athletic journeys in college next year. This past fall, senior soccer players Reese Hanan and Julia Jansen signed with the University of Central Arkansas Sugar Bears. Additionally, golfers Maria Ezzi, Chloe Freville, and Bella Gutierrez committed to the College of Saint Mary, Arkansas Tech University, and Henderson State University, respectively.

Congratulations to our latest Next Level Belles! We are proud of you and can’t wait to cheer you on in your next chapter.
