The Blue O is from her freshman year, first semester, at Oshkosh West where she was a varsity athlete for wrestling. She transferred to Ripon High School in the second semester and went on to letter in cross country, wrestling, and soccer. Not only was she heavily involved in sports, but she participated in band and the forensics team while at Ripon. She also received an academic letter for excelling, academically, her junior year.
