Kari returns to the Lions for her senior year as one of the best outfielders to play at Patten.  She made some of the most incredible catches in centerfield that coaches from around the region still talk about.  Kari, nicknamed “Chico’ by her teammates, has been a solid .300 hitter who can hit the ball to all fields.  She has great speed at the plate as well as in the field.  Kari was one of three Lions who received the NAIA Academic All-American award in 2006.  Kari attended Butte CC prior to coming to Patten and is from Chico, CA.
