Q&A // Ashley McGlynn, Glenelg, softball

Glenelg senior centerfielder Ashley McGlynn is making the most of her final days of high school. The highlight for her so far was being named the prom queen, but not far behind was helping the Gladiators capture the county championship last Wednesday with a 3-1 upset win over defending county champ and Class 2A state champ Hammond. McGlynn had two singles off All-Metro sophomore pitcher Stephanie Speierman, drove in one run and scored the game-winning run. The Gladiators lost to Hammond, 9-0, during the regular season. Along with softball, McGlynn was a forward on the Gladiators' soccer team, playing a role in two straight state championships. She also was a member of the school's indoor track team, competing in the 200 and 400 the past three years. McGlynn, who has a 3.4 grade point average, plans to attend James Madison and is considering majoring in health science. She's an avid Ravens and Orioles fan.
