6. Seven seniors sign to continue athletic careers
Most years see a couple students extend their athletic careers. At the end of the Spring semester, nearly a fifth of the senior class had the opportunity to play in college. Autymn Schreiner (Washburn softball), Maddy Hutley (Washburn basketball), Megan Strait (Coffeyville volleyball), Laurel Barber (Ottawa track and volleyball), Jackson Frank (Ottawa basketball), Shelby Wright (Allen County cheer and dance) and Alexis Hafenstine (Allen County softball and volleyball). The quality of athletes shows in the class’ accomplishments: state volleyball and softball championships and multiple state appearances in basketball, along with numerous individual accomplishments. If the pandemic hadn’t hit the list would be even longer.
