East Central University Athletics

Nikki Herrin went from the field to the dugout starting in 2018, as she moved into a student-assistant coaching role.

Herrin spent two seasons in an orange and black uniform, tallying 12 hits, 10 runs and four RBIs.  She was also a standout in the classroom, with a perfect 4.0 GPA and four appearances on the ECU President’s List.

As a prep, she helped Wayne High School to a state title and two more state-tournament appearances, while claiming all-state honors as a senior.

The Wayne, Okla., native is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in education at East Central.
