Lincoln High junior Lindsay Mayer has given a verbal commitment to attend the University of Virginia, where she will play for the Cavaliers' softball team.

A two-time All-Stater for Lincoln, Mayer - who also competes for the R.I. Thunder Gold U-18 travel team - has split her time between pitcher and shortstop and last season posted a 6-1 record on the mound with a 1.32 ERA, two saves and 58 strikeouts. She was also one of the I-North champions' leading hitters with a .413 batting average, .730 slugging percentage, 25 runs scored and 24 RBI.

"She is very excited to continue her education at one of the best academic schools in the country," said Mayer's father Mark.

Last season, Virginia posted an overall record of 24-31, 5-14 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Championship, where the Cavaliers fell to eventual champion Florida State, 12-5.

But Fox has learned that he is not alone in his quest. The 2005 Wheeler School graduate has inspired his alma mater to organize a special walkathon, Oct. 20 on the school's Providence campus. Students and teachers from the Nursery through Grade 12 school will walk laps around the campus that day beginning at 10:30 a.m. Walkers, who have been encouraged to dress in the school colors of purple and gold, will walk rain or shine since hearing the stories of Fox' run through the desert, up Mt. Whitney and along the Pacific Coast Trail in snow, rain and heat. Many student walkers will carry signs, and a banner will be carried at the head of the walk urging Sam on to his successful finish.
