Favorite Sport (and why): "My favorite sport is a toss-up between volleyball and basketball. I could never choose one over the other. Both sports are super fun and competitive. Also, in both of these sports you have teammates on the court with you who are working toward a common goal and are just as passionate as you are." 

Best Part of High School Sports (and why): "The best part about high school sports is creating lifelong memories with your teammates who are practically your second family. You get to play with people who love the sport just as much as you do. I also like playing sports at Colfax because the community is incredibly  supportive, and they are always cheering us on. I love being able to represent the Colfax Vikings."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "The best advice I have been given from my coach is that no matter if we win or lose the sun will still come up tomorrow." 

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "My most memorable moment is from this volleyball season when we won our 7th conference championship in a row, making that 4 championships in a row for me. It was amazing to accomplish that and keep the streak alive." 

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part about playing three sports is that not one sport is like the other, so you become a very versatile athlete. For me, it is really fun to compete year round because I am a very competitive person."   

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "The toughest part about playing three sports is that there really is no down time for you. Every time one season ends the other begins. It is also tough trying to manage schoolwork when you have a practice every day and a game every other. You really learn how to manage your time well." 

Favorite Opponent (and why): "My favorite opponent for conference is Elk Mound. There has always been a rivalry between our two schools so when we play the gym is always packed full of fans. The energy in those games is awesome. Regis is my favorite opponent to play in the postseason. The games are always really close which makes it intense! Both teams have great programs." 

Favorite Professional Athlete: "My favorite professional athlete is gymnast Simone Biles. She is a great role model for working hard to get what you want. Which is why she is the top gymnast in the world, who has two signature moves named after her."  

Favorite College Team: "My favorite college team is the Wisconsin Women’s Volleyball team. They are crazy good at the game and it makes it super exciting to watch."

Cumulative GPA: 3.978

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against (and why): "I have played against some pretty tough athletes, but one of the toughest was Morgan Radtke from Elk Mound. I played against her for 3 years in volleyball and basketball. Her height and natural athletic ability was awesome to play against. She is currently playing for Michigan Tech Women’s volleyball team."

Most Admired High School Teammate (and why): "I have played with some of the best teammates around who have taught me a lot. A teammate who sticks out most to me would be Alyssa Dachel. She was always there for anybody who needed her, and she always worked hard. Alyssa kept me focused in practices and games, which in turn helped me become a better athlete." 

College Plans: "I currently do not know where I will be attending college, but I am touring a few select campuses."

Activities Outside of Sports: "I am involved in quite a few activities outside of sports. Some organizations are: President of the Student Council, President of the senior class, FBLA, FCCLA, and the Leadership Council. I also enjoy baking goods, biking, and rollerblading." 

I Find it Relaxing to: "I find it relaxing to go out on Lake Wissota with our boat. I love spending time with family and friends on it. Whether we are tubing, water skiing, or just floating, it is always a great time where you can forget all your worries." 

Favorite TV Show: "My favorite TV shows are Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Both shows can make me laugh no matter how many times I have watched them."

Favorite Movie: "My favorite movies are Momma Mia and Momma Mia: Here We Go Again. I enjoy singing along to both movies as loud as I can."

Favorite Musical Artist: "My favorite artist is Post Malone. I really love all the songs he has created." 

Favorite Subject: "My favorite subject in school is math. It comes a lot easier to me than other subjects do."

Favorite Restaurant: "My favorite restaurant is Buffalo Wild Wings. I rarely order anything besides wings. I love all their different kinds of sauces, but my favorite is parmesan garlic." 

Favorite Website: "My favorite website is YouTube because there is such a variation of videos to watch. I personally watch a lot of “how to” videos."
