Kentucky Wesleyan College Athletics

Why I chose Wesleyan:

    I chose Kentucky Wesleyan because of the people. On my visits to campus, all the staff, coaches, students, and teammates I met were beyond helpful and kind. Because it is a smaller campus, I was able to really get to know all my professors and fellow panthers very quickly.  It has really felt like a family atmosphere from day one. Being at Wesleyan has helped me become a more outgoing and confident person.  I am from a small town in Albany Ohio, which is around 5 hours away from campus. Being so far away from home has really forced me to come out of my shell and discover who I am and what I am passionate about. I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing so that I can hopefully earn a job after college in a field that I love. I have gained so many lifelong friendships at Wesleyan that I am beyond grateful for, and I will always cherish my time at KWC.

What teammates say about Rachel:

    "Ray has grown to be one of my favorite people. Each story Ray shares leaves me in tears! She is such a hard worker and always has a smile on her face regardless of the situation. The bond we have formed is something so special and I know I can always count on Ray if I ever need anything!"

    "Rachel has the unique ability to smile and brighten the room wherever she goes no matter what situation she may be in. She is always pouring into her teammates by working hard every day and helping them off the court by doing our hair, nails, makeup and so much more. Her kindness and her ability to make us laugh tightens the family bond of our team. She is the type of senior that everyone wants on their team."

    "Rachel is another work horse on our team and is very determined to accomplish anything that’s set out in front of her. I am very grateful for the past three years with Rachel as our bond off the court has helped us when it comes to playing on the court in our communication, reading each other, and our intensity as a whole. Rachel off the court is very goofy and you can always expect her to record every bus ride, pregame dance battles, and any other embarrassing moment that we may have throughout the season."

What Coaches say about Rachel:

    "Rachel has a heart of gold and a real understanding of what others are thinking or feeling. She can be friends with anyone and likes that we are all different. She enjoys speaking with anyone on any topic and really allows everyone to feel at ease around her. She is a hard worker, who regardless of her situations, has always respected and upheld the highest character even when things have been tough. She is committed to giving her best every day and finds ways to make any uncomfortable situation comfortable."
