Coach’s quote: “Kaylie is a fierce competitor with a tremendous work ethic and a passion for Windber athletics. Her energy and competitiveness is contagious and spans across three different sports. For the past few years, many area coaches, athletes and fans have had the pleasure of watching Kaylie excel in multiple sports. But, what they don’t see is all the hard work she puts in behind the scenes. I’m very grateful for having the opportunity to coach Kaylie on the hardwood the past two seasons. She’s a great teammate, makes everyone around her better and has really stepped into a leadership role now as a senior. As a three-sport student-athlete, she pours her heart into all that she does and most importantly, she’s a great role model for our underclassmen and youth players. Kaylie embodies all that a student-athlete should represent at Windber – pride, dedication and excellence in the classroom – in sports and in our community.” – Windber girls basketball coach Chad Manippo
