Caley Strahan Now a Roadrunner

Caley Strahan of Bishop McNamara Catholic School in Kankakee, Illinois, has signed her NJCAA Letter of Intent to play women's basketball in the 1st Source Bank Fieldhouse for Coach Jay Jenkins and the Roadrunners.

Coach Khadaizha Sanders of Bishop McNamara said of Strahan, "Caley became a leading scorer and rebounder on our team in her senior season. Most of her point production comes in the paint and on the block. During the season, she improved her defensive skills and shot blocking. One thing I love about her game is the nice touch on her jumper. She can get it going from the short corner and high post. I can't wait to watch her grow and compete at the next level." 

Coach Jenkins added, "We are excited to add height and athleticism to our program. Caley is a dominant force in the paint and will be hard to beat. She is the missing piece of our puzzle."

Strahan joins Kate Gilroy of Grosse Ile, Shiyah Forte of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Khalise Collins of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Rayvan Rush of Lansing, Illinois, Atyanna Alford of Cassopolis, Cam Edmondson of Harvey, Illinois, Bella Cullifer of Constantine, Maggie Weller of Dowagiac and Olivia Robinson of Roscoe, Illinois, as the tenth member SMC's 2024 Women's Basketball recruiting class.

This past season, the team finished 27-5 overall, won the MCCAA Western by going 10-2 in conference, and ended with a home record of 15-1. The Roadrunners then won the Great Lakes B District Tournament as the #1 seed and earned a trip to the NJCAA National Championship in Joplin, Missouri, going 1-1 and finishing #16 in the country.

The 2023-2024 squad set numerous school and individual records, including single game scoring (111), team two-point FG made in a game (43), team free throws made in a game (21), fewest points allowed in a game (18), team assists in a game (31), team rebounds in a game (67) and team steals in a game (25).
