Bio

Playing in the open-field era for coach Mark Eldridge, San Marcos High School alum Kenda Leffler set a Palomar career record with 19 home runs as the Comets won 86 games over two seasons and captured two Pacific Coast Conference championships and their first state title. Leffler was a two-time California Community College State Player of the Year. A spectacular fleet-footed centerfielder, Leffler was an All-American in 1989 as the Comets went 47-6 and won the state title. In 1990, she led Palomar to a 47-6 record and a second-place finish in the state tournament. She still owns the Comets' single-season home run record of 17 and shares the all-time career mark of 19 with Kim Ward, a charter member of the Palomar Athletic Hall of Fame. Leffler went on to star for two seasons in NCAA Division I for UNLV. She lives in Sierra Vista, AZ.
