Hi, my name is Ryah Zakula, and I am currently a senior at Boulder Creek High School in Anthem, Arizona. I have been a dedicated member of both the cross country and track teams throughout my high school career, specializing in mid-distance events. Competing at the varsity level for all four years has taught me discipline, perseverance, and leadership, both on and off the track. I’m currently interested in studying fire science and pursuing EMT certification, with the goal of building a career in emergency services. As a disciplined athlete and student, I believe I have the focus and resilience necessary to succeed both academically and athletically at the next level, and I am excited about the opportunity to run for a competitive team and contribute my life and dedication to the program.
