Prior to ASU... 
Harper, a dominate outfielder from Stevenson Ranch, Calif., will join ASU following her final year in the high school ranks. A two-time All-Second Team selection has maintained an impressive .400 batting average through her high school playing days. She has also twice been named to the Flo Sports top-100 in both her freshman and sophomore years, and likely would earned the honor had her junior season not been cut short due to injury. 

Personal... 
Makenna, the daughter of Jim and Danielle Harper has one sister, Jessica. She plans to pursue a major that will lead her into a career in pharmaceutical sales.
