“What Aniya love most about playing running Track is that the effort she put in directly reflects the results she will get out. Aniya has learned if she go hard in the paint, stay focused, and grind, she will see the benefits—plain and simple.”
“ let her tell it me her mom. She said I inspires her on and off the field. I competed in high school and at the collegiate level, she feels that our passion and drive for track and field are unmatched. Aniya feels with my dedication it pushes her to go just as hard—or even harder—like she always say “ I want to follow my mom footsteps and make her proud.”
“What makes me the proudest of Aniya is how she’s learned to fight through adversity. She’s mastered balancing her schoolwork with her track and field career, and no matter what challenges come her way, she always stays true to the 3 D’s—discipline, determination, and dedication. Her drive, both on the track and in the classroom, is what makes me incredibly proud.
