DAYTON PYE '22
Zion, Illinois Women’s Volleyball Sport and Exercise Science
What are your plans after graduation? I plan to attend graduate school to earn a master’s degree in athletic training to become an athletic trainer.
What advice would you give to your freshman self? I would tell my freshman self to stop stressing so much and be patient; everything will soon fall into place.
Which WLC faculty member impacted you the most? Prof. Rachel Kuehl has helped me out so much and has always been there for me no matter how many questions I have...and I have a lot! She has confidence in me and has always believed in me, and that is the greatest feeling to have from a professor.
Which WLC staff member impacted you the most? Mrs. Suz Otto has made the greatest impact because of how caring she has been since I have been here. She has been the mom in Wisconsin who is here for me, helping me adjust to a new life far away from home.
What would you like us to know about you? I am very hard working. If I have a goal in mind, I try very hard to achieve it and to give more than 100% to get there. What is your most memorable moment as a Warrior? The most memorable thing is not a game, but rather the teammates I have had over the years. Every year on the volleyball team has been amazing because of my teammates. Everyone is so nice and they accept everyone, and that is just truly amazing to me.

Which WLC class would you like to take again? I would retake College 101, because within that class I created a lot of friendships that I still hold today. What is your most memorable moment as a Warrior? It was playing against Eureka College my sophomore year. I played well despite an overtime loss, and I had a career-high 20 tackles with one forced fumble as well as a pass breakup.
