She’s not the tallest, the fastest, or the loudest but she gives everything she has. That’s not talent. That’s character. That’s heart.

What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreShe just loves being part of a team. She has a competitive side to her but she is an introvert and this allows her to be social.
Her dad inspires her so much. He served 25 years in the military and his stories about camaraderie, having one mission to complete together, and glory after the mission is over inspires her to be on a team.
Abriana’s physique isn’t what you would expect from an athlete but every year for the past 8 years she never quits. I remember she was being taunted by the opposing team and she stayed quiet, calm, and collective. So during the game she spiked the volleyball 6 times to where the opposing team did t say anything to her after that. I was so proud how she took revenge as motivation to be great.
