Jazmine Guzman from Wichita North is one of the best overall players and offensive weapons in the state. Over the course of her career, Guzman has scored 33 goals while adding 20 assists.
“What makes her so special is the combination of her soccer IQ, skills & abilities, toughness, & competitive mindset,” head coach Curt Wullschleger said. “We look to her to have a strong spring season by scoring and assisting multiple goals, setting the tone with her physicality and being a vocal leader for the team.”
Now, as a senior, she is looking to do even more despite coming off of a torn ACL that she suffered last April.
“One of my personal goals is to complete high school and go to the next level, as well as making the all-city league team this spring season,” Guzman said. “A goal I have for the team is winning regionals. Each year, we’ve come close but never got to accomplish it. I have a lot of faith in our soccer team, and I know we can make it happen with the talent and skill we have.”
The senior knows that if she wants to accomplish all of her personal and team goals she has to lead the right way.
“As one of the leaders this year I’m going to bring the team closer together for better chemistry on and off the field,” Guzman. “I’m also going to remain positive in negative situations, I will motivate my teammates when they feel discouraged and lead by example.”
