In the process, the Cougars compiled a number of marks that qualify for inclusion in the NCHSAA Record Book.

Among the top individuals for Alexander was Taylor Wike, who batted .568 for the year. Her 67 hits is the second-most recorded in NCHSAA history, and she also earned a place on the “consecutive at-bats with a hit” list with 13 straight, between March 16 and March 23 of this season.
Wike also made performance lists with 52 runs in the season, 17 doubles and 43 RBI.
