She is the first to arrive at every practice, and the last to leave after raking the field. Libby gives a full effort every practice and game, and she spends considerable time honing her hitting and defensive skills on her own. She is respectful to and respected by all, and a friend to her teammates.” Conestoga co-coach Kevin Conaway added, “Libby is an exceptional young person. As her coach, she is the type of person and player that makes you want to come to practice every day.” Off the field at Conestoga, Winters is a member of National Honor Society, Peer Tutoring, and Girls in STEM.
