Kayla Middleton

Kayla Middleton, a very decorated athlete from the CCU Softball program, enters her new role as an assistant coach with the 2025 spring season being her first. Her time at CCU was characterized by her name in the record book and a fierce dedication to her sport that took her far. Her dedication and love for the sport will continue to leave its mark on the team in a new format as Kayla will look to lead this team in new and exciting ways.

During her four years at CCU, Middleton left a legacy of determination, strong work ethic, patience, and was one of the hardest workers on and off the field. Her name is found in the record book under career hits, career batting average, career runs, career RBI, career home runs, career doubles, season hits, season batting average and more. Her impact was seen beyond the field as well through her role as a chaplain and team captain her senior year. Her accolades both on and off the field are a demonstration of how she carries herself day in and day out. It is within this context that Kayla has found her calling beyond playing; an endeavor in the world of coaching that she will excel in.

Beyond the field, you can find Kayla and her twin sister, Kenzie anywhere outdoors. Middleton enjoys time spent with family, working out, going to the lake, and hunting. Her family is a huge part of who raised her into the athlete and person she is today as her mom, and multiple family members played tennis at the University of Northern Colorado, while her dad was a tri-sport athlete competing in football, basketball, and track. Kayla has and will continue to do big things within CCU athletics.
