NORMAN — Athletes Unlimited gained three former Oklahoma Sooners on Tuesday.

2023 NCAA champions Haley Lee and Alex Storako, as well as 2013 national champion Keilani Ricketts signed and will compete in the AU Pro Softball AUX in Wichita, Kansas, in June. Athletes Unlimited Pro Softball is a professional softball league founded in 2020. The league has a unique scoring system which determines an individual champion.

Storako was named the 2021 Big Ten Pitcher of the Year during her time at Michigan. She transferred to OU for the 2023 season and was named a USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year top 25 finalist.

Lee took home the 2023 Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Player award after hitting a combined 4 for 5 with a home run and two runs scored in the conference tournament. Ricketts, who serves as an assistant coach under Jim Gasso at Mid-America Christian University, was the 2023 Big 12 Pitcher of the Year.

Former OU star Jocelyn Alo announced her intention to compete in the AUX event back in April. Alo, Lee, Ricketts and Storako are all members of the OKC Spark, an independent pro softball team.

The AUX event begins with a doubleheader at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. June 10 on ESPNU.
