Quiet, steady, dependable…but don’t let that reserved personality fool you, there’s definitely some sass in there too! Avery, for four years, you’ve worked hard to grow as an athlete, encouraged your teammates, and no matter your role, you’ve always found a way to support your team.
Thank you for your commitment, hard work, and team-first attitude. We’re grateful for all you’ve given to this program and proud to celebrate U today!

Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and leadership. We appreciate you and how you’ve helped build a stronger team. We’re grateful for you and excited to celebrate your legacy!
