Grace Grunloh, a senior first baseman/utility player and three-sport standout for Aurora Central Catholic, has returned to the softball field less than eight months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in her right knee. If she had stayed healthy, she would have finished her career with four years of basketball and softball, and three of volleyball. The injury cost her a senior season in both sports following her surgery on Aug. 13. Despite her early return to the field, she remains committed to her dream of playing both basketball and volleyball.
