Prep: Mary-Elizabeth Luttrell came to Mason after four outstanding seasons at Chilhowie High School, after each of which the universal player earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference recognition. It was only as a freshman that Luttrell featured on the Second Team All-Region, because she was among the First Team selections in all other three seasons, including being the region's Player of the Year as a senior. That was only one of the four recognitions of this kind for Luttrell after a season in which she batted .538 for six home runs and 28 RBI, scoring 47 runs, and stealing 20 bases. The other three were her third-straight Mountain West Conference Player of the Year recognition, the 1A State Player of the Year recognition and the Hogoheegee District Player of the Year recognition. In addition, Luttrell earned three varsity letters in basketball and three letters in volleyball and won the state basketball championship with the Warriors in 2014.
Personal: Daughter of John Luttrell, a former intercollegiate football player, and Heather Luttrell and the oldest of their three children. Mary-Elizabeth anything sports related, hiking and traveling. She studies Chemistry.
