By Matt Browning

Wichita Collegiate multisport athlete Cooper Arneson has been blessed with many positive influences over his time with the Spartans.

They have shaped him into the person he is today and the man he will be in the future.

“The greatest influences at Collegiate have been Mr. Levan and Coach Black,” Arneson said. “They have worked together to shape me as a person both inside and outside of the classroom. Mr. Levan has inspired a new perspective on learning through his intensive care for the students.”

There are many memories that stand out to Arneson and they all have made a personal impact on his life.

“Some of my favorite memories from Collegiate are friendships I built, and the experiences that shaped me both academically and personally,” Arneson said. “There have been many exciting moments in sports games, late nights working on projects with classmates, and many traditions that bring everyone together.”

Being a college preparatory school, WCS has shown Arenson what it takes to be successful after high school graduation.

“Collegiate’s importance of character has shaped me as a well-rounded person,” Arneson said. “Together these have provided resources that will stay with me forever.”

If a perspective family was interested in sending their children to Collegiate, Arneson would have no hesitation in recommending the school that he loves.

“The challenging and supportive community has created priceless memories throughout my high school experience,” Arneson said. “From sports to academics, Collegiate is the best choice.”
