The Butler women's basketball program signed two outstanding players on Wednesday morning as part of National Signing Day. Addison Baxter (5-9, G) and Anna Wypych (6-0, G) will make Indianapolis their home over the next four seasons giving the Bulldogs great depth at the guard position.
 
Addison Baxter
5-9, Guard
Larwill, Indiana
Columbia City High School
 
Baxter is a 5-9 guard at Columbia City High School playing for head coach Amy Shearer. The all-time leading scorer in Columbia City school history, Baxter has recorded 1,162 points over her first three seasons as a starter. The Eagles have gone 63-8 overall and 19-2 in the Northeast Eight Conference with Baxter in the lineup. Those victories allowed Columbia City to become the top-ranked team in the state for the first time in school history during the 2023-24 campaign.
 
Baxter has been a First Team All-Northeast Eight Conference selection during each year at Columbia City. She averaged 18.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 5.7 steals per game as a junior. Those stats allowed her to be an honorable mention All-State selection. As a junior, Baxter averaged 18.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.8 steals per game. She's a two-time team captain that was also a two-time Supreme 15 selection. Baxter also played AAU ball for Always100 Elite 2025.
 
"Addi is one of the best passing point guards in the entire country," Head Coach Austin Parkinson explained. "Her ability to play with pace and make others around her better is exciting to watch. Being a taller point guard allows her to defend multiple positions as well. Bulldog fans will love watching her compete the next four years."
 
Personal: Daughter of Cory Baxter and Jennifer Patrick… Has five siblings; Ethan, Eli, Kyndalyn, Megan and Ryan.
 
Why Baxter Chose Butler: I knew Butler was going to be my home away from home after my first visit. I connected with the coaching staff and their vision. The academic prestige of the Butler pharmacy program also means a lot to my future beyond basketball. I believe Butler can set me up for success.
 
Anna Wypych
6-0, Guard
Rockford, Michigan
Rockford High School
 
Wypych is a 6-0 guard at Rockford High School playing for head coach Brad Wilson. Over her first three seasons at Rockford, the Rams have posted a 77-6 overall record. Wypych has impacted the team as a starter in each season and has helped the women's basketball team claim one State Championship, two Conference Championships, three District Championships, and three Regional Championships.
 
Last year, Wypych averaged 16.5 points, three rebounds, three assists, and five steals per game. She is a two-time All-State and All-Conference talent that is also a two-time selection to the Grand Rapids Dream Team. The Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan (BCAM) included Wypych on their Best of the Best postseason award list and as an Academic All-State honoree.
 
The combo guard holds multiple school records heading into her senior season. Her vision has allowed her to be the career and single-season assist leader at Rockford. Wypych is also a proven scorer that is the school record holder for most points in a single-season and highest scoring average. She set the single-season free throw record recently and is now the all-time leader at Rockford in made free throws. On the defensive end, Wypych set the single-season steals record for Coach Wilson. Wypych also played AAU ball for West Michigan Drive.
 
"Anna is a versatile wing who can score in a number of different ways," Parkinson added. "Her ability to shoot the ball from deep as well as get to the rim whenever she wants makes her extremely dangerous offensively. She is very active defensively and uses her length and quickness to create turnovers. Bulldog fans will find out that Anna is simply a winner!"  
 
Personal: Daughter of Jason and Jenny Wypych… Has two siblings; Alyssa and Addison.
 
Why Wypych Chose Butler: I chose Butler because it felt like home. The coaches, players and staff are all super welcoming and friendly which made my choice easy.
