Shortstop Kami Holt, despite hitting 11 home runs, driving in 41 runs, and putting up a slugging percentage of .909, was voted to the second team behind Webb City shortstop Desirea Buerge, whose slugging percentage was even higher, despite hitting only seven homers. Joining Holt on the second team was senior right fielder Molly Zinecker.
Senior center fielder Abby Norris and junior third baseman Lauren Strobel round out the all-conference honors for Republic, with honorable mention.
