Competing at state was a huge goal for Wichita North Senior Tori Buss, but she wants to do even better this season.
Last season Buss jumped 33 ’10 at regionals for triple jump and competed at state tournament for the Redhawks.
Buss has dedicated a lot of her offseason to the weight room to increase her speed and strength.
“One area I want to improve in overall is speed, I believe it will help with both my jumps,” Buss said. “I worked on getting faster in the offseason by working out in my free time.
Apart from being phenomenal at long and triple jump for the Redhawks, Buss isn’t just a track athlete.
“While I am doing track I have been playing school and club volleyball, I have been working out while doing both,” Buss said.
As a senior and athlete with state level experience, Buss finds herself as a team leader for the Redhawks.
“I’d say I’m a good team leader, especially for the jumping group. I like to set a good example for my younger teammates,” Buss said.
