Student-Athlete Spotlight

Name: Kayla Johnson

Hometown: Phoenix

Nickname: Kay, KJ

Major: Basic Medical Sciences/Pre-med

Favorite thing about WSU: The soccer team, the college town, and sometimes having my sister here to guide me.

Heroes: My dad for all his support he was able to give me and his belief he gave me and my sisters. My mother, especially, for without her our family would not be as strong as it is today.

Best Career Soccer Moment: Coming back from a horrible loss in State Cup and winning the championship for the seventh year in a row. Beating the two-time national champion 6-0.

Most Embarrassing Moment: When I was about to throw in the ball during a very rainy game, I ended up dropping and slipping on the ball covering my entire white uniform and body with mud.

Hobbies (other than soccer): Reading Nicholas Sparks love stories and thinking about going to the beach.

Favorite TV Show: Family Guy.

Favorite Band: Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, We the Kings, Jack's Mannequin.

In Five Years Time...I imagine myself starting medical school somewhere on the West Coast and hopefully continuing my soccer career in the WPS.
