Kayla Ruiz '21 Recruiting Profile

I was never really the athletic type of girl when I was younger. I completely disliked most of the other sports because I could never get the hang of it. When I entered middle school, though, I was introduced to Shot Put and it completely changed my life! I never knew that there was something out there for a strong and heavy girl like me. Going into high school, I won my very first Varsity meet as a freshman and went as far as placing 3rd in the area round. I have fallen in love with the sport and now my dreams are to break high school and college records and to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
