Kentucky Wesleyan College Athletics

Why I chose Wesleyan:

    I chose Kentucky Wesleyan because I was drawn to the small family atmosphere created by the school. I have found that “family away from home” is one of the most important things to find at school, which is why having such a great group of friends has made my experience so wonderful. I am pursuing a degree in Exercise Science with a double minor in health and psychology with the hopes of getting my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy upon graduation. Being five hours away from home has taught me to become more independent and creative as my own person as well as strengthening my faith. I will always remember and be proud of being a panther. 

What teammates say about Leah:

    "Leah is one of the kindest and most determined individuals I have ever met. It has always been so cool for me to watch her completely transform from her soft spokenness to the vocal energetic leader we get on the court. Leah has always pushed me, along with everyone else, to be our best selves and see how far we can push ourselves. She has made an enormous impact on this team, and I'm extremely blessed I’ve been able to play with her these past 2 years."

    "Even though Leah might be a quieter player on a team full of extroverts, she's one of the hardest working teammates I have ever played with. Her positive mindset is what makes her an important part of this team and her ability to just outwork others make her someone that I look up to, especially when I feel like I'm not working as hard as I could be."

"Leah is a silent killer. She is never the loudest one, or the center of attention but she is always present and always listening. On and off the court I have had the privilege to watch Le work hard and reap the benefits. Her kind heart is something that never goes unnoticed and makes her the most fantastic human! I’ve been so blessed with our friendship and can’t wait to see how much it will continue to grow!."

What Coaches say about Rachel:

    "Leah is a quiet, consistent person that exemplifies leadership qualities in everything she does. She always pushes for her best, giving whatever she can to make everyone around her better, and she makes it look effortless. She is always there, ready, and willing to help, to pick others up, and to see what needs to be done. She has been through challenging situations, but she never lets anyone’s energy be spent on making her feel better. Leah leads with how she does her work, in addition to who she is as she does her work."
