The term student-athlete is used to describe any high school or collegiate athlete. Many times the athletic part of that statement directs a high school athlete to their college destination.
The script for Hays High senior Avery Winter was a little different. Winter decided to attend Washburn University because they were the only school in Kansas to offer the Forensic Investigation major she was looking for.

The Ichabods have a relatively new track program and as Winter started to invesitgate she noticed that the female athletes that entered the program had improved their times by quite a bit. Something that she had noticed about her own times at the end of cross country.
Winter runs the 800 meters and 4x800 relay. Running has become a passion and borderline obsession for her and know that can continue with her passion for school as well at Washburn.
