With the Winter sports season right on top of us, it's time to resume Michelle Sandstrom's weekly varsity athlete profile.
Kathryn Fisken is a long time well known athlete around the city of Oak Harbor. As she continues to wrap up her senior year at age seventeen, successfully completing and receiving the Coaches Award in Cross Country, and now with Basketball in the works and track & field in the spring, it’s hard to imagine how she keeps her grades so high and still spends time with the family.
She’ll be starting this basketball season as a “three” which is a wing, or a “four” which is a forward, and I have no doubt number 20 will be up and down the court shooting all season.
When asking her about the new team this year she had nothing but a positive attitude. “I think that we are going to do so much better then last year. We were really close to going to state and this year I think we will. I also think that we are going to win more league games”. With the first game being on December 3rd, they have had time to prepare, however only time can tell the outcome. Seeming confident she also explains how close the girls are, how all the seniors have grown up playing the game since middle school and how everyone really bonded over camp this summer. Her personal goal consists of making this season the best ever and as a team go to State and finish within the top three at league, preferably number one.
Hoping for a great season, we moved on to her future and whether basketball has a place in it or not. After high school she plans on going to UW and becoming a doctor, and when asked about basketball, she explains its fun but not her favorite sport and she doesn’t see it as part of her college experience.
Kathryn has a great season ahead of her along with the other girls on the team and a promising future ahead. Who knows where being a doctor will take her, perhaps back to her roots in Hawaii or keep her here on rocky Whidbey Island, I’m sure we will be hearing great things.
