This semester, we are proud to recognize Presley Wickstrom as our Pep Squad’s PEAK Athlete.

Presley is an outstanding representation of what it means to be a King student-athlete. She consistently leads by example through her professionalism, positive perspective, encouragement of others, commitment to academics, and awareness of those around her. Whether she is at practice, performing at a game, or representing our program on campus, Presley carries herself with maturity, kindness, and pride.

As a senior and four-year member of the program, Presley has become someone her teammates can look to for leadership and support. She comes prepared, works hard, and is always willing to help those around her. One of the qualities I appreciate most about Presley is the way she encourages her teammates while still holding herself to a high standard. She understands that being a leader is not always about being the loudest person in the room—it is about being dependable, setting an example, and helping the entire team succeed.

Presley also demonstrates the importance of being a student-athlete, maintaining a strong commitment to her academics while balancing the responsibilities that come with being a member of our program. Her dedication, character, and love for King make her incredibly deserving of this recognition.

We are very proud to have Presley represent ML King Pep Squad as our PEAK Athlete this semester. Congratulations, Presley!
