Braelyn Jay, who plays football and basketball, was chosen the Campus Athlete of the Month for October.
“My experience at Campus has been amazing,” Jay said. “Everyone treats each other like family and supports everything and anything that you do.”
The closeness and bond that Campus has with its students is the top reason why Jay would recommend the district to prospective students.
“I would say that Campus is a great school to feel at home,” Jay said. “We offer the IB program if students are interested. Also there are plenty of things to get involved in.”
Jay suffered a season-ending knee injury and was not able to participate in football this season, but he did make his mark on the program.
“When I got injured I knew I couldn’t just be sad for myself and I had to step up and be a leader,” Jay said. “Making sure everyone stays on the same mindset and believes in each other. Even though I couldn’t play my senior year doesn’t mean I can’t lead the team in other ways. I would show up to every practice and every game including freshman and JV games.”
Outside of sports, Jay is also in Link Crew and Young Entrepreneurs of Kansas.
Despite his injury, Jay still hopes to play football in college next season.
