Sports you play: Lady Raider powerlifting

Favorite high school sports memory: My favorite memory of being a Lady Raider is our school going to the playoffs for football. I have never seen such a small town have big dreams. The love and support and how many fans were in the stands for our football boys was amazing. We never gave up hope that we would make it to playoffs.

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I like to challenge myself in everything I do cause I like knowing I did my best.

What will you miss most about high school sports? I have three reasons why I will miss my sport: 1, I get to push myself everyday to make my goals. 2, I love all who are in powerlifting cause they instantly become like family. 3, I have learned good sportsmanship and learned that I can do anything if I just push myself to do it.
