I am Hailey Coates, from McLouth, KS, my life has been full of bumps and turns, but sports have made a huge impact on me. I have played multiple team sports and individual sports, such as High School Varsity Track(indoor and outdoor), Cross Country, Dance, Volleyball, and Roller Derby on the side. In my free time I love to ride horses and do fun activities with my friends. I have ridden horses since I was a baby and work at a horse barn currently, as well as helping an older couple at their farm. All of this has helped me become the bubbly, independent, and outgoing person I am today. I hope to continue this journey at Johnson County Community College in the fall to obtain my degree in Dental Hygiene.
