One of the top senior athletes at Caney High School will continue her career close to home.
Senior Anna Washburn commited to Coffeyville Community College last week, to continue both her basketball and track and field career. She says preparing for both sports is a slighty different process.
Washburn has had coach influence for most of her basketball career, with both of her parents serving as coaches in the district. She says she's excited to experience the sport with a new head coach.
Playing multiple sports at the collegiate level is rare in the modern landscape of college athletics, and is an incredible achievement of both athleticism and commitment. Washburn says she'll be monitoring her results closely to determine what's next.
Washburn will have a chance to make an immediate impact in both sports, as the Lady Ravens are replacing 12 sophomores from last season's team.
