Annalys Rivas, a soccer athlete at Wichita Heights High School, has played her fair share of games, and has had years of experience under her belt. Just this past year, Rivas was named a second team all-league athlete.
Hoping to grow as an athlete physically, Rivas looked for multiple ways to better herself for her team this season.
“Some goals that I was focused on were being more vocal for my defense,” Rivas said. “Some areas of improvement that I worked on are crosses and positioning in my box.”
With the season wrapping up, Rivas looked back on all of her best memories, and an exciting win always comes to mind.
“My most memorable moment was our third game in the South Tournament against Circle High School,” Rivas said. “It started raining along with high winds and at some point with flurries, even though hard weather conditions we were able to win the game.”
After high school, Rivas has aspirations to play the sport she loves, along with furthering her education.
“I am planning to go to college and continue my academic and athletic career majoring in physical therapy and or finance,” Rivas said.
