Taryn St. Clair of Wichita North was chosen as the Multisports Athlete of the Month. Not only is St. Clair a basketball athlete, but also participates in volleyball and track and field. 

“I feel extremely honored and excited to have been recognized by this magazine,” St. Clair said. “I think it is such a cool opportunity to experience, especially because things like this don’t happen every day I am extremely faltered.”

With this being her senior year, St. Clair is taking the sports season slow, hoping to enjoy every second of it. 

“Although I am preparing for the season, volleyball just finished and I am trying to enjoy each season this year at my own pace,” St. Clair said. “I have been in the weight room since the start of school to get stronger and prepare for my final stretch of high school sports. Personally I feel that one of my main weaknesses is pressuring myself too much before a season.”

While memories are created year round, St. Clair’s favorites just so happen to be with her favorite people.

“My favorite memories from basketball are always the senior nights, and being able to play with my twin sister,” St. Clair said. “Each year I love the bonds we create through basketball. Not just one singular memory could top experiences I have had overall.”

St. Clair does plan to continue her track and field journey after high school, but is undecided on where to go.  

“I know for sure I want to go to college for track and field, but I am open to doing my other sports in college too,” St. Clair said. “I’m still undecided where to go but I am embracing the journey of where I am going to take it to the next level.”
