Avie’s love for sports shines through in the moments that fuel her fire. Softball: Loves stealing bases, catching pop flies, and hitting homers, fueled by team spirit and competition. Wrestling: Pushes physical limits, perfecting moves for the thrill of victory. Cross Country/Track: Defies expectations, digging deep to finish races strong. Basketball: Aggressive and precise, she thrives on steals, teamwork, and wins!
Avie draws inspiration from multiple sources. She credits God for blessing her with athletic gifts and a fierce spirit. Her coaches provide invaluable guidance, pushing her to grow as an athlete and person. Off the field, she looks up to role models like Wyatt Hendrickson, a wrestler who praises God and defies the odds to achieve greatness. Their examples fuel Avie’s determination to pursue her dreams with faith and perseverance.
One moment stands out above the rest. Avie earned an astonishing 4th place at the Junior High State meet in the 1600m run, clocking a personal record of 6:12. Competing against older athletes, she showcased her tenacity and talent, leaving her family and coaches beaming with pride. This milestone reflects Avie’s ability to rise above challenges and achieve the extraordinary.
