This marks a significant step in Carreon’s athletic career as she prepares to join a collegiate program following her success at the high school level.

As a freshman, she was recognized as the district’s newcomer of the year, indicating her potential early on. Over the years, she has not only excelled at the local level but also received multiple accolades, including recognition as a four-year letter winner in softball and being named the 19-5A First Team All-District from 2017 to 2019. In 2019, she was honored as the 19-5A Defensive Player of the Year, further solidifying her reputation as a key player for the Lady Cougars.
In just her time at College Station High School, Carreon set the all-time record for hits in a season, a testament to her skill and dedication to the sport. Her experience extends beyond high school competitions; she has played club ball with Scrapyard International and was part of a championship team that won the 2018 Triple Crown National Championships. Furthermore, Carreon has had the unique opportunity to participate in international play, representing her team in tournaments held in Tokyo, Japan, and Vancouver, Canada.
