Spending time with Kayla really allowed me to see a glimpse of the graceful and classy young woman she is. She is dedicated, bright and worked hard to achieve her goals. 2020 has been a crazy time for students and athletes and Kayla has risen to the challenges. She’s a shining light. The world could use more young people like her and I wish her every success.
