Where It All Began
Kaia began running track in seventh grade after she had quit gymnastics a few years before. She always felt fast running down the vault runway so she decided to try track out. After discovering that she loved it, Kaia stuck with track all through middle school and then joined the Marysville team freshman year. She began to train with a hurdling coach to practice improving her form, then officially joined the team.
“Trust the journey and the process because you will train hard, but it will all pay off in the end and it’s so worth it.”

Still Training
Kaia qualified for both indoor and outdoor Nationals as well as Junior Olympics in July of 2019. Although COVID-19 forced a change in plans, Kaia also qualified and is now training for the champions division of New Balance Indoor Nationals and the Junior Olympics.
More Than an Athlete
Kaia was also on the varsity cheerleading team at her school and for four years she participated in sideline cheer, and three of the years she participated in competitive cheer. She was also part of the National Honor Society throughout high school.
Future Plans
Kaia will be continuing her track career at Michigan State University! It has been hard to adjust to the life of quarantine but she is not letting it bring her down or stop her from reaching her goals.
Congratulations on your 4Frenzy awards Kaia, and good luck!
