Mikayla Byington '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi, 

I have always been a very active person whether it be I was in gymnastics or martial arts, discovering wrestling was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has opened a lot of doors and opportunities for my future career to my mental and physical health. I am a very hard worker and dedicated to this sport and to furthering my studies on becoming a NICU nurse and possible an anesthesiologist nurse. I have always wanted to go into health care since I was a child, wrestling gives me the opportunity to pursue what I love and possibly a different career path if I chose. I am an excellent multitasker even as a teenager now I have a job and work about 20+ hours weekly, am pursuing my associate's degree in biology to get a head start in nursing as well as maintaining a clean household while temporarily living on my own while my mother is working out of state. With all of these responsibilities it is not easy, but I am dedicated to making it through this chapter in my life to further my progression on understanding and appreciating what it is like to be an adult young and to prepare myself for when I eventually leave the nest. For further questions please message me at (225) 461 6131.
