Valencia’s Blair Rune is leaving behind a legacy that far exceeds the work she’s done on the softball field. After earning Foothill League first-team honors, all-California Interscholastic Federation athlete honors in 2025 and hitting above .400 over the course of 90 games across her four-year varsity career, Rune leaves for Cornell University proud of the work she’s done — off the field. Over the past two years, Rune has participated and served on the board of the Assistance League of Santa Clarita, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization.
