Some of her accolades include her team awards of Most Improved (9th), Captain (10-12th) and MVP (12th). She also has earned Packerland Conference Honorable Mention (9-11th) and First Team All-Conference (12th). She has been a notable leader on and off the court the past four years.

“This is a tremendous achievement, not only for these student-athletes but for our entire school community,” said Whitney Ebert-Maulick, ASD director. “Their dedication, discipline and perseverance set an example for all students. We’re incredibly proud of them and excited to see what the future holds.”
