State Farm Student Athlete of the week: Butler Sophomore Kylee Dubray

Our third Athlete of the Week award goes to Sophomore, Kylee Dubray. Kylee was nominated by Head Coach Heather Goldammer who stated, “Kylee is a 4-sport athlete. I don’t think there is a time of the year when she isn’t in a gym, on a court, or on a field.

She was the Class 2 Shotput State Champion and Discuss State Runner-Up; then, not more than two weeks later she was in the gym and on the softball field working to make herself and her volleyball, basketball, and softball teams better. As for volleyball, she didn’t miss a day of summer workouts, league games, or camps.

This dedication has paid off this season. Even though we are only at the halfway point of our season, she has already surpassed her kill total from last season. Kylee is a kind, humble, and supportive teammate, and I believe she is very deserving.”

Kylee plays volleyball, basketball, softball and runs track for Butler. When we asked Kylee what she thought was the biggest challenge today for student athletes she stated, “managing it all and getting good grades.” When we asked her what she felt it took to be an elite athlete she stated “you have to give 100% no matter what. Also, you have to put the extra time in.

” Last, we asked Kylee who her biggest role model was for sports and she said, “my parents are my biggest role models. My dad was also a good athlete in high school so I like to look up to him.” It was a pleasure speaking with Kylee and we wish her and the Butler Bears the best of luck as they take on Stockton on Monday.
